The answer

If the deceased leaves direct children (sons and daughters), the inheritance is divided only among his children, with the male receiving the share of two females. There is nothing for the daughters of his son who died before him, nor for his brother's sons.

If he leaves four daughters and a group of grandsons and granddaughters, and nephews, then the four daughters receive two-thirds as their prescribed share. The remainder is divided among his grandsons and granddaughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. There is nothing for the nephews due to the presence of the grandsons.

We must emphasize that matters of inheritance are complex and delicate and should be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation to ensure that there are no other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
