If the deceased has no heirs other than those mentioned, the inheritance is divided as follows: The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is divided among the two sons and the daughter by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The original denominator for the inheritance is twenty-four, and it corrects to one hundred and twenty shares.
