How is an estate worth 80,000 pounds divided among a mother who left six children (three sons and three daughters) and a living husband?

The estate of a deceased wife who left behind a husband, three sons, and three daughters, and no other heirs, is divided as follows: The husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, based on the Almighty's saying: {But if they have a child, then for you is one fourth of what they leave...}. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: {Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females}.

If the estate amounts to 80,000 EGP, it is divided into 12 shares: - The husband: 3 shares (20,000 EGP). - Each son: 2 shares (13,333.33 EGP). - Each daughter: 1 share (6,666.66 EGP).

It is advisable to refer the matter to the Sharia (definition) courts or consult scholars, given the seriousness of inheritance matters, and to ensure that all heirs are accounted for and that there are no wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the inheritance.
