Who inherits a man who died leaving maternal half-sisters, paternal half-brothers and half-sisters, paternal half-sisters, and a wife?
The wife inherits one-fourth due to the absence of a direct heir. The sisters from the mother's side inherit one-third, divided equally among them, due to the absence of a paternal ancestor or direct descendant inheriting from the deceased. The remainder is divided among the brothers and sisters from the father's side, with the male receiving the share of two females. The first verse from An-Nisa (And if a man or woman leaves no ascendant or descendant...) is for the siblings from the mother's side, and the second verse (Say, Allah gives you judgment concerning the kalalah...) is for full siblings (from both father and mother). In the absence of full siblings, siblings from the father's side take their place.
