If the father passes away and leaves behind only one son and three daughters, the inheritance is divided among them with the male receiving the share of two females. That is, the inheritance is divided into five shares: the son receives two shares, and each daughter receives one share. If the son wishes to donate a portion of his share, he is permitted to do so.
