The answer

If the heirs of the deceased are limited to those mentioned, they are: his two children (a son and a daughter), his mother, and his wife.

- The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant and a number of siblings. - The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. - The remainder is divided between the son and the daughter, with the male receiving the share of two females, by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship). - The siblings, paternal uncles, and their sons do not inherit due to the presence of the son, who excludes them completely (exclusion of deprivation).

It is obligatory to refer inheritance matters to the Sharia courts for investigation and to ensure that there are no wills, debts, or other heirs.
