How is the inheritance distributed among: a wife, 3 daughters, a full sister, 2 paternal half-brothers, and 2 paternal half-sisters?
If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, daughters, a full sister, and paternal brothers and sisters, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a descendant heir. The daughters receive two-thirds. The remaining share goes to the full sister by ta'sib (residuary inheritance). The paternal brothers and sisters receive nothing, as they are excluded by the full sister. The inheritance is divided into 72 shares: 9 shares for the wife, 48 shares for the daughters (16 shares for each), and 15 shares for the full sister.
Issues concerning inheritances must be submitted to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
