If the deceased left only those mentioned, then the heirs are the two wives, the nine sons, the seven daughters, and the unborn child. The two wives receive one-eighth equally due to the presence of offspring, and the remainder goes to the sons, daughters, and the unborn child by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The more favorable share is set aside for the unborn child, which is the share of two males. The inheritance is initially divided into a large number of shares; the wives receive their eighth, a portion of the money is set aside for the unborn child, and then the remaining shares are distributed among the sons and daughters. After the birth of the child, the shares are redistributed according to whether it is male or female, and each heir is given what was reduced from their share.
