What is the share of each of the full brother, the full sister, and the uterine brother in the inheritance of a man who died and left them as his heirs?
If a person dies leaving behind a full brother, a full sister, and a maternal brother only, then the maternal brother receives one-sixth, based on the Almighty's saying: "and if he has a brother or a sister, then for each one of them is the sixth." The remainder goes to the full brother and full sister, with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if they are brothers, men and women, then for the male is the share of two females." Thus, the inheritance is divided into eighteen shares: the maternal brother receives three shares, the full brother receives ten shares, and the full sister receives five shares. Cases of inheritance must be brought before the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, or debts.
