The answer

The inheritance in this case is divided as follows: The mother receives one-sixth, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if he has brethren, his mother shall have one-sixth." The remainder goes to the full siblings, male and female, with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if they be brethren, men and women, then for the male will be the like of the portion of two females." The half-siblings from the father's side do not inherit due to the presence of a full brother.
