What is the division of the inheritance of a deceased man who left behind a mother, three sons, and one daughter, and his estate is 108,0?
The estate of a deceased person who is survived only by his mother, three sons, and one daughter is divided as follows: The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of lineal descendants, as Allah the Almighty says: "And for his parents, each of them is to have a sixth of what he left if he has a child." The remainder goes to the sons and the daughter by way of ta’sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females, as Allah the 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 42 shares: the mother receives 7 shares, each son receives 10 shares, and the daughter receives 5 shares.
