The wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant (heir). The daughters receive two-thirds, as they are more than two. The father receives one-sixth due to the existence of a lineal descendant (heir); whatever remains, he takes by 'asabah (residuary heirship). The father excludes the brothers and sisters from inheritance completely. The estate is divided into 72 shares: 9 for the wife, 48 for the daughters (16 for each), and 15 for the father (12 by fixed share and 3 by 'asabah). Issues related to inheritances must be referred to the Shariah courts for investigation.
