If the deceased left only those mentioned, then his wife receives one-eighth (12 shares) due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and his two daughters receive two-thirds (64 shares), with each daughter receiving (32 shares). The remaining portion goes to the full brother and two full sisters by 'asabah (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females (10 shares for the brother, and 5 shares for each sister). The estate is divided into 96 shares.
