The deceased's will to divide her estate between her two daughters and her granddaughter (daughter of her son) is valid. The granddaughter receives one-third as a bequest, and the two daughters receive two-thirds of the remainder as a prescribed share. It is mentioned that two or more female children are entitled to two-thirds. Inheritance cases must be submitted to the Sharia courts due to their sensitive nature.
