The answer

If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the daughter receives half as a prescribed share, based on Allah's saying: ﴿And if there is only one, she will have half.﴾ The three sisters receive the remainder by ta’sib (residuary inheritance), because they inherit by ta’sib when with daughters, as Ibn Asim said: "And sisters may become residuary heirs, if the deceased has a daughter or daughters." The inheritance is divided into six shares: three shares for the daughter, and one share for each full sister. The sons of the full brother receive nothing, as they are excluded by the full sisters (hijab hirman). We emphasize that matters of inheritance are critical and complex, and a mere fatwa is not sufficient; rather, the matter must be presented to the Sharia courts for investigation, as there may be another heir, or wills, or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
