How is the inheritance of a man who died, leaving no wife or children, but whose mother is alive, and who has four paternal half-brothers, and one maternal half-sister and three maternal half-brothers, distributed?

First, the heirs must be accurately identified to determine how the estate is to be divided. If the deceased left a mother, four paternal brothers, one maternal sister, and three maternal brothers, and no father or grandfather, then the division would be as follows: The mother receives one-sixth (due to the presence of a group of siblings), and the maternal siblings (males and females) receive one-third, divided equally among them. The remainder goes to the paternal brothers by ta'sib (residuary inheritance). The estate is divided into 24 shares: The mother receives 4 shares, the maternal brothers and sister receive 8 shares (each receiving two shares), and each paternal brother receives 3 shares.
