The answer

If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the inheritance is divided as follows:

The two daughters receive two-thirds (16 shares) due to their plurality and the absence of a male sibling to make them co-heirs, 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 (3 shares) due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave." What remains after the share of the two daughters and the wife goes to the full paternal uncle by virtue of 'asabah (agnatic relationship) (5 shares), based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the Fara'id (prescribed shares) to those who are entitled to them; then whatever remains is for the nearest male relative." Nothing for the paternal uncle through the father or the son of the paternal uncle, as they are excluded by the full paternal uncle.

The basis of the problem (total shares) is 24 shares.
