If the man's heirs are limited to those mentioned, his estate is divided as follows: The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a direct descendant, and the two daughters receive two-thirds because they are multiple and there is no male agnatic heir (aasib). Whatever remains after the wife's and daughters' shares goes to the brothers by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), divided among them, with the male receiving the share of two females.
