Question(s):
My deceased leaves behind both parents an adult brother and sister plus a husband and a boy aged 4 and a girl aged 2. Can you work out parts in terms of inheritance

Answer(s):
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In the scenario in question, after fulfilling the necessary funeral and burial costs, clearing any debts and fulfilling any bequests, the remaining assets will be split into 36 shares.

Thus, if there are no other inheritors, apart from those you have outlined, the 36 shares will be distributed as follows:
Father – 6 shares (16.666%)
Husband – 9 shares (25%)
Mother – 6 shares (16.666%)
Son – 10 shares (27.777%)
Daughter – 5 shares (13.888%)

Finally, in the scenario in question, the brother and the sister of the deceased will not inherit.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best.
