What is the distribution of the estate of a man who died leaving three full brothers, one full sister, and one half-sister from the father's side, with no wife, children, father, mother, or grandparents? And is there more than one opinion regarding the distribution of this estate?
If a person dies leaving three full brothers, one full sister, and one half-sister from the father's side only, then the inheritance is divided among the full brothers and the full sister, with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with Allah's saying: "And if there are brothers and sisters, male and female, then for the male is the share of two females." The inheritance is divided into five shares: two shares for each brother and one share for the full sister. As for the half-sister from the father's side, she is completely excluded from inheritance by the full brothers, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them; then whatever remains is for the nearest male relative."
