If the deceased left behind only the male heirs mentioned; his wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, his two daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the full brothers and full sisters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 192 shares:

The wife: 24 shares (one-eighth). The two daughters: 128 shares (two-thirds), 64 shares for each. The full brother: 10 shares. The full sister: 5 shares.
