Does the half-sister inherit from her deceased brother if he had male children and their mother died after him?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The son of the deceased completely bars the brothers and sisters from inheritance, so they inherit nothing with him, whether they are full siblings, or paternal or maternal half-siblings. The scholars have unanimously agreed that full siblings and paternal half-siblings, whether male or female, do not inherit with the son or grandson. Therefore, a half-sister does not inherit if a son is present.
