Primary text

The inheritance is divided such that the wife, daughter, and sister receive their fixed shares, and the remainder is divided between the grandfather and the sister in a ratio of two parts to the grandfather and one part to the sister (a total of three parts). The initial distribution resolves to a denominator of eight (Tashih to eight).
