The answer

Debts must be paid first before dividing the inheritance, in accordance with the noble verse: (after any bequest he may have made or any debt). Then the remainder is distributed among the heirs. The two wives receive one-eighth due to the presence of children, and it is divided equally between them. The remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into ninety-six shares: each wife receives six shares, each son fourteen shares, and each daughter seven shares. Regarding the mentioned amount, each wife's share is 80968.6, each son's share is 188925.47, and each daughter's share is 94462.73. For verification in assessing and dividing the inheritance, it is necessary to refer to the Sharia court, as inheritances are a serious and complex matter, and there may be wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
