1. The share of the permanent wife from her deceased husband is one eighth from the wealth he left
2. The remaining seven eighths is the right of the sons and daughters of the deceased which must be distributed among them in equal portions shares of one share to every daughter and two shares to every son
3. If the mother passes away after inheriting from her husband, all her wealth should be distributed among her sons and daughter in the same portions of one share for every daughter and two shares for every son. It should be mentioned that these shares are proposing that the deceased did not leave a living father or mother otherwise they will also be entitled to inherit from their son or daughter.
