The answer

If the deceased leaves behind only his wife, sons, and daughters, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of an heir (descendant), based on the Almighty's saying: "But if you have a child, then for them is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." The inheritance is divided into sixty-four shares: the wife receives eight shares (one-eighth), each son receives fourteen shares, and each daughter receives seven shares.
