The answer

If the deceased passes away leaving two wives, five daughters, and four sons, the inheritance is divided as follows: The two wives receive one-eighth of the inheritance, to be shared between them, due to the existence of children, as Allah states: (But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave). And inheritance is established by the marriage contract. The remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. Thus, the inheritance is divided into 208 shares: 26 shares for the two wives (13 for each), 14 shares for each daughter, and 28 shares for each son.
