What is the share of each heir from the deceased's inheritance if the heirs are: a father, a wife, 3 sons, and 3 full sisters?
If the heirs are limited to the wife, the father, the sons, and the full sisters, then the inheritance is divided as follows: The wife gets one-eighth due to the presence of descendants (children), and the father gets one-sixth due to the presence of descendants. What remains after the shares of the father and the wife is for the sons by ta'sib (residuary heirship), divided equally among them. The full sisters receive nothing because they do not inherit in the presence of the father and the sons. The original base number for the estate is 24, and it is corrected to 72. So, the wife receives 9 shares, the father receives 12 shares, and 51 shares remain for the sons, with each son receiving 17 shares.
