The answer

The full-brother's son is completely excluded by the deceased's half-brothers from his father's side, because they are directly related to him and closer to him, and they are considered in the position of full-brothers when full-brothers are absent. The rule for prioritizing asabah (agnate heirs) is: direction, then proximity, then strength. The saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, testifies to this: "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them; then, whatever remains is for the nearest male."
