How is the inheritance divided among four sons, seven grandsons, one full brother, one half-brother (from the father's side), two sons of a half-brother (from the father's side), two paternal uncles (father's brothers from the father's side), four sons of a full paternal uncle, four daughters, three granddaughters, and four full sisters?

If the deceased's heirs are only their direct children, then the inheritance is divided among them, with the male receiving twice the share of the female, based on the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." The inheritance is divided into twelve shares, with the female receiving one share and the male receiving two shares.
The matter of inheritances must be referred to the courts, as there are rights, bequests, and debts that the heirs may not be aware of, and these take precedence over the heirs' right to the money.
