The answer

If the deceased leaves behind only male and female descendants, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, as Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." 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 Almighty says: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." The other mentioned heirs receive nothing, as they are excluded by the presence of a son. The inheritance is divided into eight shares: the wife receives one share, each son receives two shares, and each daughter receives one share. The inheritance should not be divided without consulting the courts.
