Ruling on the inheritance of two wives from their husband's wealth after their marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: A man died leaving behind a mother, two wives, sons, and daughters. The wealth was divided among them, and each of them took their share as determined by the Shari'ah. The question is: After that, the two wives married, and then the heirs obtained a farm in the name of the deceased. Do these two wives, who have married, inherit? I ask for your guidance, and may Allah reward you with good?
If it is established that the two farms belonged to the deceased, they are entitled to their share. They are entitled to one-eighth in total; because a wife's right to inheritance is not annulled if she marries.
