The answer

If the deceased left no heirs other than those mentioned, then her mother gets one-sixth due to the presence of siblings, her husband gets one-half due to the absence of a descendant heir, her full sister gets one-half, her paternal half-sister gets one-sixth to complete the two-thirds, and the maternal siblings get one-third, divided equally among them. The full paternal uncle is an 'asabah (residuaries) and inherits nothing here. The issue is an 'awl (increase in shares), so the inheritance is divided into thirty shares: the mother gets three, the husband nine, the full sister nine, the paternal half-sister three, and each of the maternal siblings gets two shares. Inheritances are serious matters and must be submitted to Sharia courts for investigation, in case there are wills, debts, or other heirs.
