The heirs must be accurately determined to specify how the inheritance is to be divided, which can be done via the dedicated link. If the deceased left only those mentioned, then the husband receives one-half, the maternal siblings receive one-third divided equally among them, and the remaining portion is taken by the full siblings by 'asabah, with the male receiving the share of two females. The matter should be presented to the Sharia courts or discussed verbally with knowledgeable scholars to verify all heirs, wills, debts, and rights, as these take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
