The answer

If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, full siblings, and half-siblings from the father's side, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of multiple siblings, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if he has brothers, then for his mother is one-sixth." The remainder goes to the full brothers and full sisters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if they are brothers and sisters, males and females, then the male shall have the share of two females." The half-siblings from the father's side receive nothing because they are excluded by the full siblings through a complete exclusionary blockage. The inheritance is divided into forty-two shares: the mother receives seven shares, each full brother receives ten shares, and each full sister receives five shares.
