If the deceased leaves behind only males, the wife receives one-eighth (9 shares) due to the presence of a direct heir. The daughters receive two-thirds (48 shares, 12 shares for each). The remainder goes to the full brother (10 shares) and the full sister (5 shares) by way of ta’sib, with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females. Nothing goes to the two half-sisters from the father or the half-brother from the father, nor to the full brother's son, as they are excluded by the full brother. The inheritance is divided into 72 shares.
