The answer

To clarify how an inheritance is to be divided, the heirs must be identified unequivocally through the designated link for that purpose.

If it is assumed that the woman left no heirs other than her husband, her full sister, and her half-sister from her father's side, then the husband receives one-half due to the absence of children. The full sister receives one-half. The half-sister from the father's side receives one-sixth as a complement to two-thirds. The matter is of six (parts) and becomes seven through 'awl (increase in shares), so the husband receives three shares, the full sister receives three shares, and the half-sister from the father's side receives one share.
