Does the brother from the father inherit from his sister from the father in their deceased father's inheritance, given that she was unmarried and has full siblings?

The half-brother from the father's side does not inherit from his half-sister from the father's side if she has full brothers, because they are closer and exclude him from inheritance. This is based on the : "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them; then whatever remains is for the closest male." This ruling encompasses all her possessions. Issues of inheritance must be brought before the courts for investigation due to the potential existence of heirs, wills, or debts that the heirs may not be aware of, and these take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
