The answer

The deceased's estate is divided as follows: the wife receives one-eighth, and the remainder is for the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. The heirs can divide the estate by one of three methods: proportionate division (muhayat), mutual agreement (muradat), or by lot (qur'ah). Depriving women of inheritance is a pre-Islamic custom (Jahiliyah), and a daughter has the right to her share, unless she is an adult who willingly consents to waive it. Inheritance matters must be presented to Sharia courts due to the presence of wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' right.
