How is the inheritance divided if the deceased left behind: two maternal half-brothers, a paternal grandmother, a full sister, and a paternal half-sister?

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.
