The answer

The husband receives one-fourth due to the existence of a lineal descendant, as Allah Almighty says: "But if they have a child, then for you is a fourth of what they leave after any bequest they [may have] made or debt." The remainder goes to the sons and 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." Thus, the inheritance is divided into 56 shares: the husband receives 14 shares, each daughter receives 3 shares, and each son receives 6 shares. It is imperative to refer inheritance matters to the courts to verify the heirs, bequests, and debts before distribution.
