The answer

If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a son, two daughters, grandmothers, full brothers, and full sisters, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The remainder goes to the son and the two daughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The grandmothers, full brothers, and full sisters receive nothing; the grandmothers are excluded by the mother, and the full brothers and sisters are excluded by the son. The inheritance is divided into twenty-four shares: the mother receives four shares, the son receives ten shares, and each daughter receives five shares.
