Primary text

If four sons and four other daughters from the mother are present, the case is solved from one hundred and forty-four shares according to all of Al-Manzileen. Muhammad's view is that it is as if there is one sister from both parents, six sisters from the father, and fourteen sisters from the mother, and the share of the offspring of the father is divided among them in nine parts, solving the case from three hundred and seventy-eight shares.

Supporting text

If the offspring of the sister from both parents includes a son and a daughter, the solution is one hundred and twenty-six shares according to Al-Manzileen, and Muhammad's view causes the offspring of the father to be excluded, treating them as two sisters from both parents.
