A husband, a mother, full brothers and sisters, and maternal half-brothers and half-sisters: those who made them share

Al-Hakam bin Mas'ud said: I saw Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) make the full brothers equal partners with the maternal half-brothers in one-third of the wealth. A man said to him: "You gave a different decision in a similar case last year." He asked: "What did I decide?" He said: "You gave the wealth to the maternal half-brothers and gave nothing to the full brothers." He said: "That decision was correct as we made it, and this decision is also correct as we are making it."

Ibrahim said: Sayyiduna Umar, Sayyiduna Zayd and Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them), in a case of a husband, a mother, full brothers and maternal half-sisters, used to make the full brothers partners with the maternal half-siblings in one share. They used to say that the father benefited them only in kinship, and they gave the men and women an equal share in it.

Ibrahim said concerning a woman who at her death left her husband, her mother, full brothers and maternal half-brothers: Her husband receives 3 shares, that is, half of the entire wealth; her mother receives 1 share, that is, one-sixth of the entire wealth; and her maternal half-brothers receive 2 shares, that is, one-third of the wealth. He gave this woman's full brothers no share of the inheritance, following the decision of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him); whereas Sayyiduna Umar, Sayyiduna Abdullah and Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with them) made the full brothers partners with the maternal half-brothers in the one-third of the wealth that they inherited, except that these Companions gave the men and women among them an equal share.

Abu Mijlaz said that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) also made these heirs equal partners.

Ibn al-Muntashir said that Shurayh and Masruq also made the full brothers partners with the maternal half-brothers.

Amr bin Shu'ayb reports from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib that he also decided the same in this case, and said that the father added only kinship to them.

Ibn Tawus reports that Tawus said that the mother of this deceased woman is given one-sixth and her husband half of the wealth, and one-third is divided between the maternal half-brothers and the full brothers.

Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil said: A daughter of al-Hasan bin al-Hasan died and left a husband, a mother, maternal half-brothers and full brothers. They took the matter to Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him). He gave the husband half of the wealth and the mother one-sixth, and made the maternal half-brothers and full brothers equal partners. He said to the husband: "Hold back from your peers as to whether another share comes to them, until it becomes known whether she is pregnant or not."

Ibrahim said: Sayyiduna Abdullah and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to keep them as equal partners. He said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) did not make them equal partners.

Abu Bakr (Ibn Abi Shaybah) said: This case is worked out from 6 shares: the husband receives 3 shares, that is, half of the wealth; the mother receives one-sixth; and the maternal half-brothers receive one-third of the wealth, which is 2 shares.
