The answer

If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, two sons, and four daughters, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, as Allah Almighty says: "And for his parents, each of them is to have a sixth of what he leaves if he has a child." The remainder is for the two sons and the daughters by way of 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." The inheritance is divided into 48 shares: the mother receives 8 shares, each son receives 10 shares, and each daughter receives 5 shares.
