The answer

The issue has three scenarios:

1. If the father dies first: The daughter receives one-half, the wife (the daughter's mother) receives one-eighth, and the remainder goes to the brother and two sisters (the daughter's paternal uncle and aunts) by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females.

2. If the mother dies first: The daughter receives one-half, the husband (the daughter's father) receives one-quarter, and the remainder goes to the two full sisters (the daughter's maternal aunts) by ta'sib along with the daughter. The half-brother receives nothing.

3. If the father and mother die simultaneously: Neither inherits from the other. The father's estate is divided as follows: the daughter receives one-half, and the remainder goes to the brother and two sisters (the daughter's paternal uncle and aunts) by ta'sib. The mother's estate is divided as follows: the daughter receives one-half, and the remainder goes to the two full sisters (the daughter's maternal aunts) by ta'sib along with the daughter. The half-brother receives nothing.

The real estate is valued and divided according to these shares.
