The answer

First, the deceased's debts, whether to Allah or to people, must be settled before the division of the inheritance. Then, their bequests are executed from one-third of the remaining estate. After that, the remainder is divided among the heirs. The share of the two wives is one-eighth due to the presence of a descendant heir, and it is divided equally between them. Whatever remains after the wives' share is allocated to the children by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The total shares for the inheritance amount to 272 shares: the two wives receive 34 shares (17 shares for each), and the children receive 238 shares (the male receives 28 shares, and the female receives 14 shares).
