The Ruling on the Inheritance of the Deceased for a Wife and Children, Both Male and Female

Question
A woman whose husband has died, leaving one thousand five hundred dinars, what is her share and the share of her children, knowing that he left four children, a wife, and a daughter?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: The wife receives one-eighth, and the remainder is divided among the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. And God knows best.
