How is the inheritance divided among: a wife, a mother, two daughters, two sons, a father, five full brothers, and three full sisters?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the wife receives one-eighth (18 shares) due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The mother and father each receive one-sixth (24 shares each) also due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is for the two sons and two daughters by 'asaba (agnatic succession), with the son receiving the equivalent of the share of two females (26 shares for each son, and 13 shares for each daughter). The estate is to be divided into 144 shares. The brothers and sisters receive nothing due to the presence of the two sons. Inheritance cases must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
