The answer

The estate is divided as follows: The wife receives one-fourth, based on the Almighty's saying: (And for them is one-fourth of what you leave if you have no child.) The full sister receives one-half, based on the Almighty's saying: (If a man dies, leaving no child but has a sister, she will have half of what he leaves.) The remainder, which is one-fourth, goes to the paternal half-siblings, both male and female, divided among them such that the male receives the share of two females; based on the Almighty's saying: (And if they be brethren, men and women, then for the male will be the like of the portion of two females.)
