The answer

If the heirs are limited to the wife, two daughters, a grandson (son's son), and full siblings, then the wife receives one-eighth, the two daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the grandson. The full siblings receive nothing, as they are excluded by the male lineal descendant. The inheritance is divided into twenty-four shares: the wife receives three shares, each daughter receives eight shares, and the grandson receives five shares. It is advisable to refer inheritance cases to Sharia courts to verify the existence of other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
