How is the inheritance divided among: one full brother, two half-brothers through the father, three full sisters, and three half-sisters through the father?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased has no heirs other than full siblings, then they inherit the estate to the exclusion of half-siblings from the father's side, as the latter are completely disinherited.
The estate is divided among the full siblings, with the male receiving twice the share of the female, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "And if they are brothers and sisters, male and female, then the male will have the share of two females."
The basis of the calculation is five shares: two shares for the male and one share for each female.
