What is the share of each heir from the estate of the deceased woman who has: two sons, one daughter, two paternal half-brothers, and two paternal half-sisters, knowing that she has half-siblings from previous marriages?
If the deceased woman's heirs are limited to her three children (two sons and one daughter), her estate is divided by taʿṣīb (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." The brothers do not inherit, as they are excluded by the children through complete deprivation (ḥajb ḥirmān). The estate is divided into five shares; each male takes two shares, and the female takes one share.
