What is the share of the heirs of a deceased brother who was unmarried and left behind a mother, a father, three full brothers, two full sisters, five paternal half-brothers, and one paternal half-sister?
The mother gets one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the father by ta’sib (agnatic inheritance). Siblings are excluded by the presence of the father. The mother is entitled to one-third if the deceased has no child and is inherited by his parents. However, children reduce her share to one-sixth, even if they do not inherit, due to the father's presence.
We alert the questioner that matters of inheritance are complex and intricate, and it is not sufficient to rely solely on a fatwa. Rather, such matters must be brought before the Sharia courts for investigation, as there may be wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
