Every heir receives a whole number of parts out of 4.

In the order a scholar would set it out: who is excluded, then each share, then the final adjustment.

Special caseal-'Umariyyatan
Only the spouse, father and mother inherit. So that the father keeps twice the mother's share, she takes a third of the remainder rather than a third of the whole: a ruling of 'Umar followed by all four schools.
'Umar ibn al-Khattab (al-'Umariyyatan)Family Code art. 641
Wife
One quarter, as the deceased left no descendant. Several wives share it equally.
Quran 4:12Family Code art. 609
Father
Everything left after the fixed shares, as residuary ('asaba).
Quran 4:11Bukhari 6732 ; Muslim 1615Family Code art. 577
Mother
One third of what remains after the spouse's share, which is 1/4 of the estate. The father thus keeps twice the mother's share.
'Umar ibn al-Khattab (al-'Umariyyatan)Family Code art. 641
