The answer

If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a wife, two daughters, and two full sisters, then the inheritance is divided into 48 shares: the mother receives one-sixth (8 shares), the wife receives one-eighth (6 shares), the two daughters receive two-thirds (32 shares), and the two full sisters receive the remainder by ta'sib (one share for each of them). It is advisable to refer the matter to the Sharia courts due to potential complexities such as debts, bequests, and the presence of other heirs.
