How is inheritance divided among four full brothers, two full sisters, and one half-sister from the mother's side?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the uterine sister receives one-sixth as a prescribed share, based on the Almighty’s saying: "And if a man or a woman leaves neither ascendants nor descendants but has a brother or a sister (from mother’s side), then for each one of them is the sixth." The remainder goes to the full brothers and full sisters by way of 'asabah (residuaries), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into twelve shares: two shares for the uterine sister, two shares for each full brother, and one share for each full sister. We advise consulting the courts regarding the division of inheritances.
