The Creed of Compassion-Islamic Teachings & Answering Doctrinal Misconceptions

Issue No.2368- If the deceased has full-blood brothers and sisters (i.e., from the same parents), together with brothers and sisters from only the father’s side, and one brother or one sister from the mother’s side, the paternal brothers and sisters do not inherit. In this case, the property is divided into six parts, from which one part is given to the maternal brother or sister, and the remaining five parts will be given to full-blood brothers and sisters (brothers and sisters from the same parents), and every brother will get double the share of every sister. However, if he has more than one maternal brother or sister, the property is divided into three parts, one part of which will be divided equally between the maternal brother and sister, and the remaining two parts will be given to brothers and sisters from the same parents, in which case every brother will get double the share of every sister.
