If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the wife receives one-eighth, and the daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder is divided among the full brother and full sisters, with the male receiving twice the share of the female. The inheritance is divided into 120 shares: 15 for the wife, 16 for each daughter, 10 for the full brother, and 5 for each full sister. The matter of inheritances must be submitted to the Sharia courts for investigation, due to the possibility of wills, debts, or other rights taking precedence over the rights of the heirs.
