How is an inheritance distributed among two full sisters and one half-sister through the father?
If the heirs are limited to two full sisters only, then the entire inheritance belongs to them. The two full sisters receive two-thirds as a prescribed share, based on Allah's saying: "But if there are two [sisters], they receive two-thirds of what he left." The remainder is returned to them (radd). There is nothing for the half-sister from the father, as the two full sisters have completed their two-thirds share. Accordingly, the inheritance is divided into two shares, with each full sister receiving one share. The enquirer is advised to refer the matter to the courts to verify the absence of wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' right.
