one property given to 2/5 successors. that is their exclusive but they cannot be deprived of their remaining share.

Show the document to local lawyer for proper opinion and advise.

The answer depends on the testators title to the property in dispute.

How can your father include a restriction clause about the claim of his daughters in their mother's property? As property is inherited by your mother from her father, your father has no role at all.

Please confirm whether the Will was made under Muslim law or general Will.
As per Muslim law, a testator of a Will cannot make a bequest exceeding one third of his estate after payment of funeral expenses and debts, and also a Mahomedan cannot make a bequest to his heirs without their consent to such legacy exceeding legal third so as to bind their respective interest in property, is due to the reason that the limit of testamentary capacity exists solely for the benefit of the heirs who may not be totally deprived by such bequest and so the heirs may by their consent give up such right and if no such consent is obtained, the bequest becomes invalid.
So first confirm that whether the Will was executed under Muslim law ?
