How is the inheritance distributed among: a husband, a full brother, a full sister, a maternal half-brother, and a maternal grandmother?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased's heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the husband receives one-half due to the absence of a lineal descendant, the maternal brother receives one-sixth, and the grandmother receives one-sixth due to the absence of the mother. What remains thereafter goes to the full brother and full sister by ta’sib (residuary heirship), divided between them with the male receiving the share of two females.

The origin of the inheritance is six, and it rectifies to eighteen. Thus, the husband receives nine shares, the maternal brother three shares, the grandmother three shares, and three shares remain for the full brother and full sister, with two shares for the male and one share for the female.
