The answer

If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, a daughter, and a full brother, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting descendant. The daughter receives one-half since she is a single individual. The remainder goes to the full brother by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them, and what remains is for the closest male heir." The inheritance is divided into eight shares: one share for the wife, four shares for the daughter, and three shares for the full brother.
