What is the share of each male heir for a deceased person who has a father, four brothers by the father's side, and two brothers by the mother's side?

If the heirs are limited to the father alone, he inherits all the wealth by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), because he is a 'asib bi-nafsihi (a residuary heir by himself) who takes all the wealth if he is the sole heir. As for full siblings, they inherit nothing because they are completely excluded by the presence of the father. It must be noted that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and a mere fatwa (religious edict) is not sufficient; rather, it must be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation. There may be wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
