How is the inheritance divided among the heirs: a wife, five full brothers, two half-brothers (from the father's side), one full sister, two half-sisters (from the father's side), and two sons of a full paternal uncle?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the wife receives one-quarter due to the absence of direct descendants. The remaining portion is divided ta’seeban (by agnatic succession) among the full brothers and the full sister, with the male receiving the share of two females. The half-brothers and half-sisters from the father and the two paternal cousins receive nothing, as they are excluded by the full brother. The inheritance is to be divided into forty-four shares: the wife receives eleven shares, each full brother receives six shares, and the full sister receives three shares. Cases of inheritance must be brought before the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
