What is the share of each heir from the inheritance based on the information mentioned?
If the deceased has only a wife, a full brother, and a paternal half-brother, the estate is divided as follows: The wife receives one-fourth as a prescribed share due to the absence of a lineal descendant, based on the verse: {And for them (wives) is one fourth of what you leave if you have no child.} The remainder goes to the full brother, as he is the closest male heir. The paternal half-brother receives nothing because he is excluded by the full brother. The estate is divided into four parts: one-fourth for the wife and three-fourths for the full brother. The inquirer is advised to refer the matter to the courts to ascertain the existence of other heirs, wills, or debts, given the gravity of inheritance matters.
