The answer

If someone passed away, leaving behind only a full sister and two paternal brothers, the full sister inherits half. The remaining portion goes to the two paternal brothers by 'asabah (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The full sister does not disinherit the paternal brother unless she becomes an 'asabah ma'a al-ghayr (agnate with another) due to the presence of a female descendant heir (such as a daughter or a son's daughter); in that case, she would disinherit the paternal brother. We emphasize that inheritance matters are serious and complex, and they should be referred to Sharia courts or discussed directly with scholars to verify all heirs, wills, debts, and rights before distributing the estate.
