they divide it: the agnatic heirs among the full siblings take over what is in the possession of the paternal siblings, while only their female members1 receive the remainder required to complete their fixed portion; whatever is left then passes to the paternal siblings.

Section
The mother receives one-sixth when the deceased leaves a child, a grandchild through a son, or two or more brothers or sisters. In their absence she takes one-third. She is also entitled to one-sixth when the heirs include a husband together with both parents, and one-quarter when the heirs include a wife together with both parents. The father is granted the same shares in each of those two situations.

Section
The mother’s mother, the father’s mother, the mother of the father’s father, and any grandmothers above them in direct ascent inherit one-sixth in total. If several are on the same generational level, they share that sixth equally; if one is nearer, she takes it alone.

The father’s mother and the paternal grandfather2 inherit together with them in the same manner as a paternal uncle. A grandmother who is related to the deceased through two separate lines is entitled to two-thirds of a sixth. Thus, if a man marries his maternal uncle’s daughter, the grandmother concerned will be both the mother of the mother of their child and the mother of that child’s paternal grandfather; and if he marries his paternal aunt’s daughter, the relevant grandmother will be the mother of the mother of their child3 and the mother of the father of that child’s grandfather.

Section
One-half is the prescribed share for a single daughter; then4 for a single granddaughter through a son; and then for a single full sister or paternal sister.

Two-thirds belongs to two or more from any of these categories, provided they are not rendered agnatic by a male.
