The questioner : Suppose the wife is present; he did not clarify this in his letter, but perhaps it was an oversight?
The Shaykh : If we suppose the wife is present, the estate is divided into twenty-seven shares.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : The daughters receive sixteen shares, the mother four shares, the father four shares, and the wife three shares.
The questioner : Yes, she receives one-eighth. The wife?
The Shaykh : She receives one-eighth. Every one of these heirs is a class of heirs who receives a fixed share.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Because the fixed shares exceed the estate, and when they exceed the estate...
The questioner : The original estate is twenty-four. The estate in its original form?
The Shaykh : Yes, and when the fixed shares exceed the estate, it becomes a case of 'awl.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah bless you.
