The answer

If the heirs are limited to a full sister, a maternal brother, and a full brother's son, and the deceased left no other heirs, then the full sister receives one-half as a prescribed share, based on the verse: "If a man dies, and he has no child but has a sister, she will have half of what he leaves." The maternal brother receives one-sixth as a prescribed share, based on the verse: "And if a man or woman leaves no direct heir but has a brother or a sister [on the mother’s side], then each one of them will receive one-sixth." The remainder goes to the full brother's son by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance), based on the Prophet's saying (peace be upon him): "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them, and what remains is for the closest male." Thus, the inheritance is divided into six shares: three shares for the full sister, one share for the maternal brother, and two shares for the full brother's son.
