The answer

If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the two daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the full paternal cousins. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "And if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two-thirds of what he left," and on the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those who are entitled to them, and whatever remains is for the nearest male." The inheritance is divided into nine shares: three shares for each daughter, and one share for each cousin. Inheritance matters must be referred to the Sharia courts due to the possibility of wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
