The answer

The single daughter inherits one-half, and the wives share in one-eighth if the deceased has a child. The remainder goes to the closest male agnate of the deceased, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them; then whatever remains is for the closest male." The matter of inheritances must be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation, as there may be other heirs, bequests, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
