The answer

The full brother and two full sisters are excluded by the son. The debt must be paid from the estate before its distribution. If the money is insufficient, the house should be sold to cover the debt. Installments are not binding on the heirs, and whoever paid any part of them should take it from the estate. The missing husband is not declared dead within this period, so his share of one-fourth is withheld, and the estate is distributed assuming he is alive. If his life is confirmed, he takes it; if the judge declares him dead, his share is distributed among his heirs from the time of the death declaration. The mother takes one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the son and the two daughters by ta'sib, with the male receiving a share equal to that of two females.
