Answer :
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh According to the Islamic Law of Succession and Inheritance, distribution of an estate will only commence after funeral expenses, debts (including legal costs) and bequests (if any) made to non-heirs - which will not exceed one-third (1/3) of the estate after debts and funeral expenses - have been settled. Thereafter, all assets form part of the Nett Estate and will have to be distributed according to the Islamic Law of Succession and Inheritance. The deceased’s estate will be divided into 24 shares as follows: The wife will receive 3 shares, the son will receive 14 shares and the daughter will receive 7 shares. And Allah knows best Wassalam Ml. Yusuf bin Yaqub,
