How is the inheritance divided among: a mother, a wife, two daughters, two full brothers, and a paternal half-brother?
If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a wife, two daughters, two full brothers, and a paternal half-brother, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The two daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the two full brothers by 'asabah (residuary heirship). The paternal half-brother receives nothing because he is excluded by the full brother.
The inheritance is divided into 48 shares: the mother receives 8 shares, the wife receives 6 shares, the two daughters receive 32 shares (16 shares for each), and each full brother receives one share.
Inheritance cases must be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation, due to the possibility of another heir, or the existence of bequests or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
