The answer

The deceased's money is the right of the heirs, and it is not permissible to dispose of it except with their collective consent. A bequest to an heir is void unless the remaining heirs consent, and the donee is not entitled to anything unless they take full possession of it. Inheritance matters are complex and require specialized authorities. If the deceased left only those mentioned, the wife receives one-eighth, the daughters two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the two paternal cousins by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance).
