The Ruling on the Inheritance of the Wife and the Child

Question
A man passed away and he had two wives, and one of them has a child. What is the share of each of the wives and the child?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: The two wives receive one-eighth, and the child receives the remainder; because he is a male relative, and God knows best.
