What is the share of each heir from the aforementioned inheritance, and how is the inheritance determined if the husband does not know all that his deceased wife owned?
If a woman dies and leaves behind a husband, a mother, two full brothers, two full sisters, and two paternal half-brothers, the inheritance is divided as follows:
The husband: Half; based on the Almighty's saying: (And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child). The mother: One-sixth; due to the presence of a group of siblings, based on the Almighty's saying: (But if he has brothers, then for his mother is one-sixth). The full siblings: They receive the remainder by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The paternal half-brothers: They inherit nothing as they are excluded by the full siblings.
The issue is corrected to 36 shares: the husband receives 18 shares, the mother receives 6 shares, and the remainder goes to the full siblings: each full brother receives 4 shares, and each full sister receives two shares.
The deceased's debts must be settled before the inheritance is divided.
