The answer

Full sisters or paternal half-sisters inherit by 'ta'sib' (residuary heirship) with daughters, which is the view of the majority of scholars, based on the saying of the Prophet, peace be upon him: "To the daughter belongs half, to the son's daughter belongs one-sixth, and what remains is for the sister." Accordingly, the estate of sister "S" is distributed as follows: half to her daughter, and the remainder to the two sisters as 'asabah' (residuary heirs). And the estate of sister "P": two-thirds to her two daughters, and the remainder to her sister "A" as 'asabah'. It is obligatory to consult the courts regarding matters of inheritance.
