(If there are women more than two) meaning: more than two.
(They shall have two-thirds of what he left, and if there is only one, she shall have the half.)
Muhammad said: I have given the two daughters two-thirds, based on proof that does not impose a specific designation for them, and the evidence is His saying: (They ask you for a legal ruling. Say, "Allah gives you a ruling concerning the one who leaves neither descendants nor ascendants as heirs (kalalah). If a man dies, leaving no child, but he has a sister, she shall have half of what he left.") So the sister has become entitled to half, just as the daughter is entitled to half. (If there are two, they shall have two-thirds.) Thus, I have given (60b) the two daughters two-thirds, just as I gave the two sisters, and I have given the totality of the sisters two-thirds, by analogy to what Allah mentioned regarding the totality of the daughters. (For his parents, each of them shall have a sixth of what he left if he has a child) whether a male child or a male grandchild [or a female child]. If he leaves two daughters or more and his parents, it is the same. If he leaves his daughter and his parents, the daughter has half, the mother has a third of what remains, and what remains goes to the father. The mother does not have, with one child or more—whether male or female—anything but the sixth. (If he has no child and his parents are his heirs, his mother shall have a third.) This is if he has no heir other than them, according to the view of Zayd and the majority. (If he has brothers, his mother shall have the sixth.) If he has two brothers or more, they veil the mother from the third, and she receives the sixth. One brother does not veil her from the third, nor do two brothers if they are his paternal brothers or maternal brothers, or some of them are from the father and some from the mother; these, whether they are males, females, or some are males and some are females, veil the mother from the
