If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a father, a wife, a son, and a daughter, then the mother receives one-sixth, the father receives one-sixth, and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is for the son and the daughter by ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The other mentioned heirs receive nothing. The estate is divided into seventy-two shares: the mother receives twelve shares, the father receives twelve shares, the wife receives nine shares, the son receives twenty-six shares, and the daughter receives thirteen shares.
