What is the share of the full sister in the inheritance of her brother who died without direct heirs (kalalah), given that she has half-brothers from the father only?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The full sister inherits half of her brother's estate if he has no children, according to Allah's saying: "If a man dies, leaving no child but only a sister, she shall have half of what he leaves." The remainder is to be divided equally among the paternal brothers. Inheritance matters should be referred to the Sharia court for a thorough verification of the heirs.
