Step-by-step explanation

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

  1. Father

    One sixth as a fixed share, since there is a male descendant.

    Quran 4:11Family Code art. 618Family Code art. 584
  2. Mother

    One sixth, as the deceased left a descendant.

    Quran 4:11Family Code art. 619
  3. 2 sons

    Everything left, as residuary.

    Quran 4:11Bukhari 6732 ; Muslim 1615Family Code art. 577
يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنثَيَيْنِ

Quran 4:11 · "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, the share of two females…" Shares of children and parents.
