Can an inheritance be calculated in the presence of male heirs (4 paternal uncles who are full brothers of the father, and 3 paternal uncles who are half-brothers of the father from the father's side) and female heirs (a mother, and 4 full sisters)?

If the deceased left behind only a mother, three full sisters, four full paternal uncles, and one paternal uncle from the father's side, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a group of siblings. The full sisters receive two-thirds. The remainder is divided among the full paternal uncles by virtue of ta'sib (agnatic succession), and the paternal uncle from the father's side receives nothing because he is excluded by the full paternal uncle. The inheritance is divided into twenty-four shares: the mother receives four shares, the sisters sixteen shares (four for each), and the full paternal uncles four shares (one for each).
