The answer

If the deceased left behind only his wife, his four daughters, and his three paternal half-sisters, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant (inheriting branch). The four daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the three paternal half-sisters by ta'seeb (residuary inheritance). The other mentioned heirs receive nothing due to being completely excluded by the paternal half-sister. The inheritance is divided into 72 shares: the wife receives 9 shares, the daughters receive 48 shares (12 shares for each), and the paternal half-sisters receive 15 shares (5 shares for each). The matter of inheritances should be referred to the courts for investigation, as there may be wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
