How is the inheritance to be divided among a father, a maternal brother, two sons of a son of a son, two daughters of a son, and a daughter of a son of a son, knowing that the deceased has no debts?
If the heirs are as mentioned, the father receives one-sixth due to the presence of a direct descendant, and the two granddaughters (daughters of the son) receive two-thirds. The remainder is for the grandsons (sons of the son's son) and the granddaughter (daughter of the son's son) by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The maternal brother receives nothing. The inheritance is divided into 30 shares: the father receives 5 shares, the two granddaughters receive 20 shares (10 shares for each), each grandson (son of the son's son) receives two shares, and the granddaughter (daughter of the son's son) receives one share. Inheritance matters should be referred to the courts due to their complexity and to ensure there are no wills, debts, or other heirs.
