What is the share of each heir from the inheritance?
If the deceased has no heirs other than two daughters and two full sisters, then the two daughters receive two-thirds as their prescribed share (fard), based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "He gave the two daughters of Sa'd ibn Ar-Rabi' two-thirds," and the consensus of scholars on this matter. What remains after the daughters' prescribed share, which is one-third, goes to the two full sisters by way of 'asabah (residuary heirship). Thus, the inheritance would be divided into six shares: four shares for the two daughters and two shares for the two full sisters. The matter must be referred to the courts to verify the absence of other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
