The answer

If the inheritance is as described, it is to be divided into eight equal shares: the wife receives one share (one-eighth), the daughter receives half (four shares), and the remainder goes to the full sister. The sons of the brothers receive nothing, because the full sister excludes them. This is an exception to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those who are entitled to them, and what remains is for the nearest male relative."
