The answer

If the deceased left only those mentioned, then the grandmother gets one-sixth, the full sister gets one-half, the paternal half-sister gets one-sixth as a complement to the two-thirds by consensus, and the two maternal half-siblings share one-third equally. The case is awlah (a legal term meaning the shares exceed the total), so the estate is divided into seven shares: one share for the grandmother, three shares for the full sister, one share for the paternal half-sister, and two shares for the two maternal half-siblings.
