What is the ruling on distributing the inheritance of a person who has died and has no children or wife, but has a living sister and a deceased brother who has two daughters and two sons, and do these two daughters inherit?

If a person dies leaving no children, father, or grandfather (which is known as Kalalah), and the heirs are a full sister, two sons of a full brother, and two daughters of a full brother, then the full sister inherits half by fard (fixed share), and the two sons of the full brother inherit the remaining wealth by ta’sib (residuary right), while the two daughters of the full brother inherit nothing as they are from dhawu al-arham (relatives by womb).
