In the question mentioned above the property of deceased person shall be divided into 60 shares and distributed among his heirs. Out of the total, 15 shares shall go to his wife, 10 shares to his mother and 14-14 shares to each brother while each sister shall get 7 shares. The detail of Shariah division is as follows:

Wife:                1 x 15 = 15

Mother:             1 x 10 = 10

Brothers:          2 x 14 = 28
