The answer

If the deceased leaves behind only a male, her full sister inherits one-half, based on the Almighty's saying: "If a man dies leaving no child but has a sister, she will have half of what he leaves." The remainder goes to the four sons of the full brother by 'asaba (agnatic succession), based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them; then whatever remains is for the closest male agnate." The two daughters of the brother receive nothing as they are not among the heirs. Thus, the inheritance is divided into eight shares: the full sister receives half (four shares), and each son of the full brother receives one share. We caution that matters of inheritance are complex and critical, and it is safer to refer the case to courts or consult scholars directly to verify all heirs, wills, debts, and other rights before distribution.
