Dear Brothers & Sisters,
As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

The man's estate should be divided among the heirs mentioned in the following manner:  

The wife is given a quarter, the mother is given one-sixth, and the rest is shared between the brother and sister giving the male twice the share of the female.  

So if, for example, he left behind 18,000:  

His wife gets one quarter of the estate, which is 4500.  

His mother gets one-sixth of the estate, which is 3000.  

The rest (18,000 – 7500= 10,500) is divided into three shares.  

One third is given to the female, 3500.  

Two-thirds are given to the male, 7000.  

And Allaah knows best.  

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and well wisher in Islam
