How is the inheritance distributed among the deceased's heirs, who are: two paternal half-brothers, two full paternal cousin sons, one full sister, and three paternal half-sisters?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the full sister receives half, based on the Almighty's saying: ﴿If a man dies, leaving no child but a sister, she will have half of what he leaves.﴾ The remainder goes to the brothers from the father and the sisters from the father by way of ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: ﴿And if they be brethren, men and women, the male will have the share of two females.﴾ The two sons of the full paternal uncle receive nothing, as they are excluded by the brother from the father. The inheritance is divided into fourteen shares: the full sister receives seven shares, each brother from the father receives two shares, and each sister from the father receives one share. It is recommended to refer inheritance matters to courts to verify all heirs, debts, and bequests before distribution.
