1)They are shiya or sunni?
2)has the person died left also
a)father b)mother c) sister(s)
behind widow(s)4sons and 2daughters told by you already.??

The complete legal heirs list is wanting from your post.
In any case, please find attached the inheritance table applicable to Sunni Muslims.
Still if you have doubts, you have to indicate the availability or not of the relationships mentioned in the first column of the table. Accordingly the shares will be worked out and indicated in respect of each of the heirs.
As can be seen from the table a daughter is a "Residuary" in the presence of a son.
If no other relations given in the table, other than the widow, are available, then the son and daughters being residuaries will inherit the property that is available after giving the share to their morhter.
Share of the daughter will be half of the share that a son gets.

his wife (widow )will get 1/8
in 1-1/8=7/8 left as residuary which shall be divided in ratio of(son) 2:1(daughter).
hence sons2/3of 7/8=7/12
and daughters1/3of7/8=7/24
for 4sons 7/12/4 each son
for 2daughters7/24/2each daughter
so each son and daughter would get 7/48 and widow 6/48
[ w=6/48+(s1)7/48+(s2)7/48+(s3)7/48+(s4)7/48+(d1)7/48+(D2)7/48]=48/48=1
