The answer

First, the debts of the deceased must be paid from their estate, and then the remainder is divided among the heirs. If the heirs are the wife, father, sons, and daughters, the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a direct descendant, and the father receives one-sixth due to the existence of a direct descendant. The remainder is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 264 shares: 33 shares for the wife, 44 shares for the father, 34 shares for each son, and 17 shares for each daughter. It is advised not to divide the inheritance without consulting the Sharia courts.
