What is the share of each heir from the mentioned inheritance, given that the heirs are: one full brother, two paternal half-brothers, one full paternal uncle, one full sister, and five paternal half-sisters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased left no heirs other than a full brother and a full sister, then the inheritance is for them by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty’s saying: "And if there are brothers and sisters, male and female, then for the male is the share of two females." The inheritance is then divided into three shares: two shares for the brother and one share for the sister. The rest of the aforementioned heirs do not inherit, as they are completely excluded by the full brother. It is important to note the seriousness of inheritance matters and the necessity of referring them to Sharia courts to verify the absence of other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
