If the deceased left no heirs other than those mentioned, then the mother receives one-sixth, the wife receives one-eighth, and the remainder goes to the sons and daughters by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. Thus, the inheritance is divided into 360 shares: the mother receives 60 shares, the wife receives 45 shares, each son receives 34 shares, and each daughter receives 17 shares.
