The answer

Before dividing the inheritance, the deceased's debt must be paid, as it takes precedence over the heirs' rights. The inheritance is to be divided into fifteen shares. The two daughters receive two-thirds (ten shares), and the remaining shares are distributed to the full brother and full sisters by ta'sib (residuary kinship), with the male receiving the equivalent of two females' shares: two shares for the brother and one share for each sister. It is advisable to refer inheritance matters to the Sharia courts for verification and to ascertain any unknown heirs, debts, or bequests, as these take precedence over the heirs' rights.
