What is the share of each heir from the inheritance if a man dies leaving three sons, three daughters, and a pregnant wife who gave birth to a daughter after his death?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, and the daughter was born after the death of the deceased, the inheritance is divided into 80 shares: the wife receives 10 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. However, if the newborn daughter is the third daughter, then the inheritance is divided into 72 shares: the wife receives 9 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. The matter of inheritances must be submitted to the Sharia courts to verify all heirs, wills, debts, and other rights.
