Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 416/J)

After the due rights preceding the inheritance, the entire property of the dead person will be distributed in 8 shares; out of which the wife will get 1 share, each son will get 2 shares and each daughter will get 1 share.

1 wife:               1

2 sons:             4
