How is the estate of a man, valued at 8,0,0, to be divided among his two sons, a father, a mother, three daughters, and a wife?
If a man dies and leaves behind two parents, a wife, two sons, and three daughters, the inheritance is distributed as follows: The mother receives one-sixth, and the father receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is distributed to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females.

For the mother: 28 shares. For the father: 28 shares. For the wife: 21 shares. For each son: 26 shares. For each daughter: 13 shares.
