How is the inheritance divided among: a mother, a wife, two daughters, four sons, two full brothers, and three full sisters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The mother receives one-sixth, and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a direct heir. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The full brothers and full sisters receive nothing, as they are excluded by the deceased's son. The inheritance is divided into 240 shares: 40 for the mother, 30 for the wife, 17 for each daughter, and 34 for each son. Inheritance matters should be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation.
