The answer

Before dividing the inheritance, the debts of the deceased must be paid, because debt takes precedence over the rights of the heirs. Those who inherit from the mentioned heirs are: the son, the father, the mother, the wife, and the daughter only. The rest are excluded. The father and mother each receive one-sixth due to the presence of a direct descendant (al-far' al-warith), and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a direct descendant. The remainder is divided between the son and the daughter by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. Cases of inheritance must be submitted to the Sharia courts for investigation and scrutiny, as there may be undisclosed heirs, bequests, or priority debts.
