How is the inheritance distributed among the deceased's heirs, namely: a mother, two sons, four daughters, and a half-sister from the father's side, bearing in mind that the half-sister does not cooperate or ask about her share, and is it permissible to leave her share of the inheritance and rents in the bank?
If the deceased leaves behind no heirs except a mother, two sons, four daughters, and a sister from the father's side, and no other heirs, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a direct descendant heir. The remainder goes to the two sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The sister from the father's side receives nothing because she is excluded from inheritance by the son, a complete exclusion. The inheritance is divided into forty-eight shares: the mother receives eight shares, each son ten shares, and each daughter five shares.
If the "sister from the father's side" is the daughter of the deceased from another wife, then she inherits, and the inheritance is divided into fifty-four shares: the mother receives nine, each son ten, and each daughter five. Her share must be given to her.
