The answer

First, debts must be paid off. Then, the bequest to the daughter's children should be disbursed from one-third of the estate only, as they are not heirs. The remainder is then to be divided among the heirs: two-thirds for the two daughters, and the rest to the son's children by way of ta'sib, with the male receiving the share of two females. This matter should be referred to the courts due to the complex issues involved.
