– If both male and female siblings inherit together, each male receives the share of two females.

– The same guidelines that apply to children apply here: when all the heirs are male, they divide the estate equally, whether they are full brothers or paternal brothers. If both full and paternal brothers are present, the full brothers exclude the paternal brothers.

– When the heirs are female—full sisters together with paternal sisters—and the full sisters take up the entire two-thirds, nothing remains for the paternal sisters. If, however, there is only one full sister, she receives one-half, and the single paternal sister—or the paternal sisters—are given one-sixth to complete the two-thirds.

– Whatever remains beyond these fixed portions passes to the residual agnatic heirs: the brothers who are not linked through the mother and their sons, the paternal uncles and their sons, and those related through walā’. All of them fall under the Prophet’s ﷺ authentic statement narrated by Ibn ʿAbbās: “Assign the prescribed shares to their rightful recipients; whatever is left belongs to the nearest male agnate,” reported by Muslim (1).

– Thus, priority is given first to the brothers, then their sons, then the paternal uncles, then their sons, and finally to walā’. Within each class the nearer in degree takes precedence; if they are equal in degree, the stronger tie—full blood—prevails over the paternal only. Allah knows best.
