What is the share of each individual heir from the deceased who left behind: a wife, five sons, and three daughters, given that his parents are deceased?
If your father did not leave heirs other than those mentioned, then his wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant, based on the Almighty's saying: ﴿But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt.﴾ [An-Nisa: 12]. The remainder is for the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 104 shares: the wife receives 13 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. As for the grandparents, they do not inherit if they passed away before the father. It is necessary to consult the courts for the division of inheritances.
