If the deceased leaves behind only male descendants, then her mother gets one-sixth and her father gets one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. Her daughters get two-thirds, and her husband gets one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The full sisters get nothing because they do not inherit when the father is present. The issue is an 'awl (increase in the number of shares), so the inheritance is divided into forty-five shares: the mother gets six shares, the father gets six shares, the husband gets nine shares, and the daughters get twenty-four shares, with each daughter receiving eight shares.
