The answer

If a man dies and leaves behind a wife, one daughter, and five sons, and no other heirs, then the wife receives one-eighth (of the estate), based on the Almighty's saying: "But if you have a child, then for them [i.e., the wives] is one-eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The remainder, after the one-eighth, is divided among the daughter and the sons by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." It is important to note that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and a mere is insufficient. Rather, they must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, bequests, or debts that take precedence over the rights of the inheritors.
