How is inheritance distributed among four daughters and two full sisters?
If the deceased leaves behind only four daughters and two full sisters, the daughters receive two-thirds as their prescribed share, according to the Almighty's saying: "But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of what he left." The remainder goes to the two full sisters by virtue of ta'sib (residuary inheritance), based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) : "He gave the sister what remained after the share of the daughter and the son's daughter." The inheritance is divided into six shares: the four daughters receive four shares (one share for each), and each full sister receives one share.
