How is the inheritance distributed for a deceased woman whose heirs are: two paternal half-brothers, five full paternal cousins, a mother, a maternal grandmother, a full sister, and a paternal half-sister?
If the deceased has no heirs other than those mentioned, then after settling her debts and fulfilling her bequests, the inheritance is divided as follows: The mother receives one-sixth as a prescribed share, and the full sister receives one-half as a prescribed share. The remaining portion is divided among the paternal brothers and the paternal sister by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 30 shares: 5 shares for the mother, 15 shares for the full sister, and 10 shares for the paternal siblings (4 shares for each male and 2 shares for the female). The maternal grandmother and the full paternal cousins are excluded from inheritance. Issues related to inheritances must be brought before the courts.
