The answer

If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, two sons, and two daughters, the wife receives one-eighth (1/8) due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the children by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The other heirs mentioned receive nothing, as they are completely excluded by the son. The inheritance is divided into 48 shares: the wife receives 6 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares.
