What is the distribution of inheritance if the heirs are: a pregnant mother (carrying a full brother/full sister), one daughter, one grandson, a paternal grandfather, three sisters from the father's side, six sons of a brother from the father's side, in addition to a pregnancy of the deceased's son's wife, and a pregnancy of the deceased's paternal uncle's wife, knowing that the deceased bequeathed 100 [currency units] for building a mosque, and owes unpaid Zakat debt, and other debts?
The zakat of the deceased and their debts must be paid before dividing the inheritance, based on the Almighty's saying: "from already-made bequests or debts." Then, the bequest to the mosque is disbursed, up to one-third of the remainder after zakat and debts.
The heirs are: the paternal grandfather of the deceased, his mother, his daughter, his son's son, and the fetus of his son's wife. The division is to be postponed until the condition of the fetus becomes clear. If they insist on the division, the present heir is given the smallest possible share, and the inheritance of two males is reserved for the fetus. Then, the estate is divided into three hundred and sixty shares.
It is advisable to refer the matter to the Sharia courts or consult scholars to verify the heirs, debts, and bequests, due to the critical nature of inheritance matters.
