The answer

There is no sin upon the daughters in taking their share of their mother's inheritance. No consideration is given to the mother's will to disinherit them, as it is a null and forbidden will according to Islamic law. Everything the mother left behind, including money, clothes, utensils, and other items, becomes the property of all heirs after her death, including the daughters whom she willed to disinherit.
