The answer

The inheritance is divided by allocating one-eighth of it to the wife, and the remainder to the children, with the male receiving double the share of the female. There are three types of division: Al-Muhaya'ah (where heirs utilize the inheritance for a period corresponding to their share), Al-Muradah (where heirs agree on a method of division), and the lottery division (dividing the value of the inheritance or selling it and distributing the proceeds). No heir may be deprived of their share except with their consent, nor can they be compelled to receive more than their share. Inheritance matters must be submitted to the courts to verify all rights, wills, and debts before division.
