The answer

If the deceased left only those mentioned, then the mother receives one-sixth and the father receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, based on the Almighty's saying: ﴿And for his parents, each of them a sixth of what he left if he had a child.﴾ The remainder goes to the two sons and the daughter by 'asabah, with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females, 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 full brother receives nothing, as he is completely excluded by the presence of the son and the father. The inheritance is divided into thirty shares: the mother receives five shares, the father receives five shares, each son receives eight shares, and the daughter receives four shares.
