IT is not clear when the property is sold, whether property is sold by A or it is sold after his death?
If it is sold by A then daughter cannot claim her share because it is A's self acquired property.
If it is sold after the death of A then she can claim her share because after the death of A succession opens.
Another thing if the property of A is earned by the income of the ancestral property then being a co-parcener daughter has got right to claim her share.

If the property was sold by the father before his death, daughters or any other Legal heir have no claim. If sold after death, consent of all legal heirs is required and all Legal heirs have share in it.

If it is self acquired property of ‘A’ and sold by ‘A’ in his lifetime then daughters can’t demand share in this property.

However if A has left other estate and has died without leaving any WILL then daughters have share in estate of deceased ‘A’.
