The answer

If the deceased leaves no heirs other than those mentioned, then his mother gets one-sixth due to the presence of a descendant heir and multiple siblings. His wife gets one-eighth due to the presence of a descendant heir. His three daughters get two-thirds. The remainder goes to the full sisters and full brothers by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 216 shares: the mother gets 36 shares, the wife gets 27 shares, the daughters get 144 shares (48 for each), each full brother gets two shares, and each full sister gets one share. It is advisable to refer inheritance cases to courts to verify all heirs, wills, debts, and other rights before division.
