How is the inheritance divided among: one full brother, two paternal half-brothers, one daughter, one granddaughter, and four full sisters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased leaves behind only his daughter, his son's daughter, full brothers and sisters, and two paternal half-brothers, the inheritance is divided as follows:

- The daughter: Half (9 shares out of 18), as per the Almighty's saying: "And if there is only one, she will have half." - The son's daughter: One-sixth to complete two-thirds (3 shares), based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) hadith. - The full brothers and sisters: The remainder by ta'sib (agnatic residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females (two shares for the full brother, and one share for each full sister). - The two paternal half-brothers: They receive nothing because they are excluded by the full brother.

The inheritance is divided into eighteen shares. Matters of inheritance should be referred to the Sharia courts to verify the existence of wills, debts, or other heirs.
