The answer

If a man dies leaving three daughters, and full brothers and sisters, the daughters receive two-thirds, based on 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 brothers and sisters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if there are brothers and sisters, male and female, the male will have the share of two females."

The inheritance is divided into 36 shares: each daughter receives 8 shares, each full brother receives two shares, and each full sister receives one share.

It must be noted that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and a mere fatwa is insufficient. Rather, they must be brought before Sharia courts for investigation, as there may be wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
