The deceased's will is executed with one-fourth of their estate. The remaining zakat, owed by the deceased, is paid before the division of the inheritance. The father inherits one-sixth due to the presence of a direct heir. The two daughters receive two-thirds, and the grandmother receives one-sixth. The estate is divided into six shares: the two daughters receive four shares, the grandmother receives one share, and the father receives one share. Other relatives, such as grandfathers, brothers, the sister, and the missing relative, do not inherit. It is advisable to consult religious courts regarding the division of inheritances.
