She died and left behind a husband, children, a full brother and a half-sister through her mother

Question: 147824

She died and left behind a husband, four sons, five daughters, a full brother and a half-sister through her mother. How should the estate be divided?.

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

If a woman dies and leaves behind a husband, four sons,
five daughters, a full brother and a half-sister through her mother, the
estate is to be divided as follows: 

The husband gets one-quarter, because there are children.
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“In that which your
wives leave, your share is a half if they have no child; but if they leave a
child, you get a fourth…”

[al-Nisa’ 4:12]. 

The rest goes to the children, with each male getting the
share of two females, because Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation
of the meaning):

“Allaah commands you as regards your children’s
(inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females”

[al-Nisa’ 4:11]. 

The full brother and the half-sister through the mother do
not get anything. 

So the estate is to be divided among their heirs: the estate
should be divided into 52 equal portions, of which the husband gets 13, each
son gets 6 and each daughter gets 3. 

And Allah knows best.
