What is the share of each heir from the deceased's inheritance if he left behind two full sisters, three daughters, a wife, and four full sisters?

If the heirs are as mentioned (daughters, a wife, and full brothers and sisters), the inheritance is divided as follows: The daughters receive two-thirds, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of what he left." The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of offspring, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if you have a child, for them is one eighth of what you leave." What remains after the shares of the daughters and the wife is for the full brothers and sisters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if there are brothers and sisters, male and female, then for the male is the share of two females."

The original denominator of the inheritance is 24, and it is perfected to 576 shares. So, it is divided into 576 shares as follows: - For the daughters: 384 shares (128 shares for each). - For the wife: 72 shares. - For the full brothers and sisters: 120 shares (30 shares for each male, and 15 shares for each female).
