If a person dies and leaves behind only a wife, a daughter, and a son's daughter, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The daughter receives one-half because she is the sole daughter. The son's daughter receives one-sixth as a complement to the two-thirds. The estate is divided into 32 shares: the wife receives 4 shares, the daughter receives 21 shares by فرض (prescribed share) and radd (return), and the son's daughter receives 7 shares by فرض (prescribed share) and radd (return).
