What is the share of each heir from the inheritance in the presence of: 3 sons, 6 grandsons, a full brother, a full brother's son, a daughter, 5 granddaughters, and a wife?
If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, sons, and daughters, the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of inheriting offspring, as Allah the Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave." The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, as Allah the Almighty says: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females."
The inheritance is divided into eight shares: one share for the wife, two shares for each son, and one share for each daughter. Other heirs do not inherit because they are completely excluded by the male child.
Inheritance matters should be referred to courts for investigation, as there may be wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
