The answer

If the deceased's heirs are those mentioned in the question, the inheritance is distributed as follows:

- The full sister takes half, based on Allah's saying: ﴿If a man dies leaving no child but has a sister, she will have half of what he leaves.﴾

- The remainder is taken by the paternal siblings, males and females, divided among them such that the male receives the share of two females, based on Allah's saying: ﴿And if they are siblings, males and females, then the male will have the share of two females.﴾

- The brother's children receive nothing as they are excluded by the full sister and the paternal siblings.

- The brother's daughter is from the kin by blood (Dhawi al-Arham) and inherits nothing.
