How is the inheritance divided among a mother, two full sisters, a full brother, and five paternal half-brothers?
The mother of the deceased receives one-sixth due to the presence of siblings, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if he has brothers, the mother will have one-sixth." The remainder goes to the full brother and the two full sisters by 'asabah (residuary heir), with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if they are brothers and sisters, men and women, then the male will have the share of two females." The half-siblings from the father's side do not inherit when a full sibling is present, as agreed upon by the scholars. The inheritance is divided into twenty-four shares: the mother receives four shares, the full brother receives ten shares, and each full sister receives five shares.
