The answer

If the deceased left only those mentioned in the question, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant and a group of siblings. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The two daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the brothers and sisters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 408 shares: the two daughters receive 272 shares (136 shares for each), the mother receives 68 shares, the wife receives 51 shares, and each full brother receives two shares, while each full sister receives one share. Inheritance matters must be submitted to courts for investigation.
