How is the inheritance divided among: a wife, 3 daughters, a full brother, 2 maternal half-brothers, and a paternal half-sister?
If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, daughters, a full brother, and brothers and sisters from the father and mother, then the wife inherits one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring. The daughters inherit two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the full brother by way of asabah (residuary heirship). The deceased's sister from the father and his brothers from the mother inherit nothing, because they do not inherit in the presence of a full brother and a daughter. The estate is divided into seventy-two shares: the wife receives nine shares, the daughters forty-eight shares (sixteen for each), and the full brother receives fifteen shares.
