If the deceased has no heirs other than the wife, daughters, and a nephew (brother's son), then the wife receives one-eighth, the daughters two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the nephew, according to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to their rightful recipients; then whatever remains is for the closest male heir." It does not matter whether the daughters are minors or if the nephew is a minor. Inheritance cases must be submitted to the Sharia courts for investigation.
