The answer

The wife receives one-fourth as a fixed share due to the absence of a direct heir. The sister from the mother's side receives one-sixth as a fixed share. The remainder goes to the brothers and sisters from the father's side by virtue of 'asabah (agnatic succession), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 72 shares: the wife receives 18 shares, the sister from the mother's side receives 12 shares, the brother from the father's side receives 14 shares, and each sister from the father's side receives 7 shares.
