What is the share of each heir from the inheritance if the deceased left behind: four paternal half-brothers, and one full sister?
If the deceased leaves behind only a full sister and eight paternal nephews, the sister receives half (four shares out of eight) based on the Almighty's saying: "If a man dies, and he has no child, and he has a sister, she will have half of what he leaves." The remaining (four shares) go to the nephews by virtue of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with each nephew receiving one share, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them, and what remains is for the nearest male relative." It should be noted that inheritance matters are serious and require consulting courts to verify all heirs, wills, debts, and rights before distribution.
