A man died, leaving two wives, five sons, and six daughters.

If the deceased leaves behind only his two wives, sons, and daughters, then the two wives receive one-eighth of the estate, to be divided equally between them, due to the presence of a lineal descendant. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "But if you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by wayib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into 128 shares: the two wives receive 16 shares (8 for each), each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. The questioner is advised that matters of inheritance are critical and complex, and one should not rely solely on a fatwa (definition). Rather, they must be referred to the Sharia (definition) courts for investigation, as there may be bequests, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
