What is the division of inheritance in this case: a wife, 4 daughters, a full sister, 4 full brothers, a half-brother (from the father's side), with a will for 100 dinars to the nephew and 50 dinars to the niece?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the wife receives one-eighth, the daughters two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the full brothers and sisters by way of ta’sib (residiary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The paternal half-brother is excluded by the full brothers. The inheritance is divided into 216 shares: the wife receives 27 shares, each daughter 36 shares, each full brother 10 shares, and each full sister 5 shares. The will is executed if it is within one-third or less of the estate. Anything exceeding one-third is not executed unless approved by the heirs. Inheritance matters should be referred to the courts, as there may be issues that only become apparent through investigation and inquiry.
