In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
 
According to the Islamic law of inheritance, the distribution of the estate will only commence after the following three things have been settled from the estate of the deceased:
 
1)      Basic Funeral expenses (not including any extravagances)
2)      Debts (if any) including the legal costs
3)      Bequests (if any) made to non-heirs. This is not to exceed one third of the estate after the abovementioned two things have been settled.
 
Once the above have been taken care of, the remaining estate of the deceased will be divided into 72 equal shares and distributed as follows:
 
-          9 shares will be given to the wife
-          14 shares will be given to each of the three sons
-          7 shares will be given to each of the three daughters
 
The deceased man’s stepdaughter will not inherit from him.
And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
