The answer

If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a wife, two full brothers, and two full sisters, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of siblings. The wife receives one-fourth due to the absence of any descendant. The remaining portion goes to the full brothers and sisters by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. In this case, the inheritance is divided into seventy-two shares: the mother receives twelve shares, the wife eighteen shares, each full brother fourteen shares, and each full sister seven shares. The matter must be referred to the courts for consideration, as there might be other heirs, bequests, or debts.
