The answer

He who dies and leaves behind a wife, four daughters, a paternal half-brother, and a maternal half-brother and half-sister, his inheritance is divided as follows: The wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring. The daughters receive two-thirds. The paternal half-brother receives the remainder by ta’sib (agnatic inheritance). The maternal half-brother and half-sister receive nothing because they are veiled by the daughter. Indeed, maternal siblings do not inherit except in the case of kalalah (one who has neither a father nor a child). The issue is out of 24: the wife receives 3, each daughter receives 4, and the paternal half-brother receives 5.
