The answer

If the heirs of the deceased are a full brother, three daughters, and a wife, then the wife receives one-eighth (9 shares out of 72), based on the Almighty's saying: "But if you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave." And the daughters receive two-thirds (16 shares for each daughter), based on the Almighty's saying: "But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two-thirds of what he left." The remainder goes to the brother, based on the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them; then whatever remains is for the closest male relative."
