For the deceased's sister, whether full or paternal, she receives half of the estate, based on the Almighty's saying: "If a man dies, and he has no child but has a sister, she will have half of what he leaves." The remaining portion goes to the male children of her brothers, divided equally among them, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those who are entitled to them, and whatever remains is for the closest male relative."
