How is the inheritance divided among a father, mother, wife, 3 daughters, a full brother, 3 full sisters, and two sons of a full brother?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased left behind only a mother, a father, a wife, and daughters, then 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, and the daughters receive two-thirds. There is nothing for full siblings or sons of full siblings due to the presence of the father. The estate is divided into eighty-one shares after correcting for the fractional breaks: the mother receives twelve shares, the father receives twelve shares, the wife receives nine shares, and the daughters receive forty-eight shares, with each daughter receiving sixteen shares.
