Ascertaining the heirs is essential for an accurate division of the inheritance, and this can be done by submitting the question via the designated link. If the only heirs mentioned are those stated, then the man's inheritance is divided between his wife (one-fourth) and his three brothers (the remainder equally). As for the woman's estate, it is divided among her three brothers and her one full sister, with the male receiving the share of two females. Given the critical nature of inheritance matters, it is advisable to refer the case to the Sharia courts or consult scholars to verify the heirs, debts, and bequests before distribution.
