The answer

If the deceased's heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the husband receives half due to the absence of a direct descendant. The remainder is for the two brothers and two sisters, with the male receiving the share of two females. Paternal uncles and maternal aunts do not inherit. The matter must be referred to the Sharia courts, as inheritance issues are serious, and there may be other heirs, or wills, or debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' right.
