Q: My late dads estate needs to be divided Islamically. The following are the heirs:

Dadda (his father)

Mom (his wife)

7 daughters and

1 son (the children)

Please advise me how the shares must be divided Islamically.

A: The estate will be divided into 216 equal shares and distributed as follows:

The father will receive 36 shares
Wife will receive 27 shares
Son will receive 34 shares
Each daughter will receive 17 shares

NB: The above Shar'ee distribution of inheritance is based on the information provided regarding the total number of heirs of the deceased present.
