How is the estate of a man who died unmarried, had no children, and is survived by two full brothers, one half-brother (from father's side), two full sisters, and three half-sisters (from father's side) distributed?

If the heirs of the deceased are limited to two full brothers and two full sisters, then the inheritance is to be divided among them by ta’sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The matter of inheritances must be referred to courts to verify the absence of wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights, and to safeguard the interests of both the living and the deceased.
