The answer

The two wives receive one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, to be divided equally between them, as Allah Almighty says: {But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave.} The remainder goes to the sons and daughters: the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 16 shares: for the two wives, one-eighth, which is two shares, one share for each wife; for each son, four shares; and for each daughter, two shares. There is nothing for the brother and the two sisters due to the presence of the two sons.
