What is the share of each heir from the estate of the deceased who left behind a mother, a wife, five daughters, four brothers, and one sister?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased's heirs are limited to a mother, a wife, daughters, and male and female siblings, then the mother receives one-sixth, the wife one-eighth, and the daughters two-thirds. The remainder is divided among the brothers and sisters, with the male receiving the share of two females. The case must be referred to the Sharia courts to investigate the heirs, wills, debts, and other rights before dividing the inheritance.
