The answer

If a father passes away leaving a wife, four sons, and a daughter, the wife receives one-eighth (1/8) of the inheritance, as Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave." The remainder is to be distributed among the children, with the male receiving the share of two females, as Allah Almighty says: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." The estate is divided into 72 shares: the wife receives nine shares, each male receives fourteen shares, and the daughter receives seven shares. Inheritance matters must be referred to Sharia courts for investigation, as any wills or debts take precedence over the heirs' rights.
