If the deceased left no heirs except those mentioned, then her entire estate is to be divided equally among her full brothers. There is nothing for her half-brothers from the father's side, nor for the sons of her full brother; because they are completely excluded by the full brothers. Ibn Rushd said: "The scholars unanimously agreed that the full brother excludes the half-brother from the father's side, and that the half-brother from the father's side excludes the sons of the full brother." The heirs must be identified correctly and clearly.
