What is the share of each heir from the inheritance if the deceased passed away and left behind: a mother, a wife, 2 sons, 2 full brothers, 2 uterine brothers, and 5 full sisters?
The estate of a deceased person who leaves behind only a mother, a wife, two sons, and siblings (brothers and sisters) is divided as follows: The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant (heir). The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant (heir). The remaining portion goes to the two sons by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance). The siblings receive nothing because they are excluded by the son.
The estate is divided into 48 shares: The mother receives 8 shares, the wife receives 6 shares, and each son receives 17 shares. It is necessary to refer the matter to the Sharia courts to verify the heirs, wills, and debts before distribution.
