The answer

If the deceased left only those mentioned, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, as Allah Almighty said: "But if you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave." The two daughters receive two-thirds equally, based on the established fact that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, gave two-thirds to the two daughters of Sa'd ibn Ar-Rabi', and scholars have reached a consensus on this. The remainder goes to the full sisters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship) equally, based on the established fact that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, gave the sister what remained after the share of the daughter and the son's daughter. The inheritance is divided into 72 shares: 9 shares for the wife, 48 shares for the two daughters (24 for each), and 15 shares for the full sisters (5 for each).
