How is the inheritance divided among: a wife, six sons, and three daughters?

If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, sons, and daughters, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of an heir-branch, as Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them [i.e., the wives] is one-eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The remainder is for the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, as Allah Almighty says: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females."

Accordingly, the inheritance is divided into one hundred and twenty shares: the wife receives fifteen shares, each son receives fourteen shares, and each daughter receives seven shares.

We emphasize that matters of inheritance are critical and complex, and it is not sufficient to rely solely on a fatwa (definition). Rather, they must be referred to the Sharia (definition) courts for investigation. There may be an heir, bequests, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs. Therefore, the inheritance should not be distributed without consulting the Sharia courts.
