The answer

If the deceased has no parents or only one, and no grandfather or grandmother, then their inheritance is divided as follows: the wife receives one-eighth, according to the verse: "But if you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave." What remains after the wife's share is divided among the children, with the male receiving the share of two females, according to the verse: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females."
