What is the share of each heir from the estate, knowing that the deceased is female, and she has three paternal half-brothers, three paternal half-sisters, and two full nephews?

If the deceased leaves no heirs except for full paternal brothers and sisters, then the entire inheritance goes to them by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "And if there are brothers and sisters, males and females, then for the male is the share of two females." There is nothing for the sons of the full brother because they are completely excluded by the paternal brother. Thus, the inheritance is divided into nine shares: two shares for each paternal brother and one share for each paternal sister.
