How is the money and property of a divorced woman who passed away to be divided, given that she had two sons and a daughter from her first husband, then one of her sons passed away, then her husband who divorced her passed away, then the husband's mother passed away, then the divorced woman's mother passed away?

The money and property of a deceased divorced woman are distributed among her heirs, and her ex-husband is not among them. If she dies leaving a mother, two sons, and a daughter, the mother receives one-sixth, and the remainder is distributed among the children by ta‘ṣīb (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The share of a son who dies after his mother is distributed among his heirs, including his father (his mother's ex-husband) if he is alive, or his heirs. So, if any of them dies before receiving their share, their share passes to their heirs.
