Under Muslim Sharia law, the inheritance shares are distributed based on specific rules. Here's a simplified breakdown:
1. **Sons and Daughters**: Sons receive twice the share of daughters.
2. **Wives**: A wife receives 1/8th of her deceased husband's estate if there are children; otherwise, she receives 1/4th.
3. **Grandchildren**: They inherit only if their parent (the deceased's child) is not alive.
4. **Siblings**: Brothers and sisters inherit if there are no direct descendants.
Given the complexity, consulting a legal expert for precise calculations is recommended. You can find more detailed information on [iPleaders](https://blog.ipleaders.in/muslim-law-of-inheritance/).
