The answer

If the heirs are limited to the wife, sons, and daughters, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the remainder goes to the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is to be divided into 64 shares: the wife receives 8 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. The debts of the deceased must be paid from their estate before its division. We emphasize that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and it is not sufficient to rely solely on a fatwa; rather, they must be referred to Sharia courts or discussed directly with scholars.
