The answer

If a person dies leaving a wife, two daughters, and three siblings (one brother and two sisters), and no other heirs, the inheritance is divided as follows: The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The two daughters receive two-thirds. The remaining portion goes to the siblings by way of ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. As for the nephews (sons of the brother) and the deceased's son who died before him, they do not inherit. The estate is divided into 24 parts: the wife receives 3 parts, the two daughters receive 16 parts, and the siblings receive 5 parts.
