The answer

The wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant (heir). Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The remainder goes to the four daughters and two sons by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females, as Allah Almighty says: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females."

The inheritance is divided into 64 shares: the wife receives 8 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares.
