Does the full brother (from the father or mother) inherit, and what is his share? And does the brother from breastfeeding inherit?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A brother through fosterage does not inherit. As for a brother from the mother's side, he inherits one-sixth when alone, or one-third with others, provided there is no inheriting descendant or inheriting male ascendant. A brother from the father's side, however, inherits the remainder or shares with his siblings, provided there is no father, inheriting male descendant, or full brother.
