What percentage of the deceased’s estate should each legal heir receive according to Shariah?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
A Sunni Muslim has expired, leaving behind following legal heir:
(1) Wife, (2) Major married son having one minor son and one minor daughter, (3) Major married daughter, (4) Major married daughter, (5) Major Married daughter, (6) Major married daughter. You are requested to intimate the share of each legal heir in percentage, as per Shariah.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 364/H-314/TH=10/1434)

In case the details of the heirs are true, all the property left by the deceased shall be divided into 48 shares after paying due rights preceding inheritance. Out of the total, 6 shares shall go to the wife of deceased person, 14 shares to the son while 7-7 share shall go to each daughter.

Details:
Wife: 1×06=06
Son: 1×14=14
Daughters: 4×07 =28
Total: 48
