Does the deceased's sister (who is married with children) inherit anything from the estate, given that the deceased has married sons and daughters who also have children?

The sister inherits nothing if the deceased has a son or a grandson, as agreed upon by scholars. Therefore, your paternal aunt has no share in your father's inheritance as long as he has a son.
