What is the share of each heir from the inheritance if the deceased passed away and left male heirs (one full paternal uncle's son) and female heirs (six full sisters)?
If the deceased left no heirs except full sisters and a full paternal cousin, then the full sisters receive two-thirds as a prescribed share, based on the Almighty's saying: "{But if there are two [sisters], they receive two-thirds of what he left}." And whatever exceeds two sisters, their ruling is the same as that of two sisters. The remainder goes to the full paternal cousin by way of ta’sib (agnatic inheritance), based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to their rightful recipients, and whatever remains is for the closest male agnate."
The inheritance is divided into nine shares: six shares for the full sisters (one share for each sister), and three shares for the full paternal cousin.
