What is the ruling of the Sharia regarding the deprivation of half-siblings (on the father's side) from inheritance in the presence of full siblings?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Inheritance goes to the wife, the full brother, and the full sister if they share the same religion. The paternal half-brother and paternal half-sister are excluded by the presence of the full brother and full sister. The wife receives one-fourth, and the remainder is divided between the full brother and full sister, with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with Allah's saying: (And if there are brothers and sisters, male and female, then for the male will be the share of two females).
