What is the share of each heir from the deceased's inheritance, knowing that the heirs are: four sons, three full brothers, and a mother?

If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the full siblings are excluded by the male lineal descendant. The mother inherits one-sixth due to the presence of offspring, and the remainder goes to the sons equally. The inheritance is divided into 24 shares: the mother receives 4 shares, and each son receives 5 shares. The matter of inheritances should be referred to the courts for investigation, as there might be factors that could affect the distribution.
