The ruling on the inheritance of paternal siblings in the presence of full siblings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, when do the full siblings and full sisters inherit exclusively, without the paternal or maternal siblings or…

Answer:
Full siblings are preferred over paternal siblings because they are stronger, as they claim kinship through two lines, whereas paternal siblings claim kinship through only one line. Therefore, paternal siblings have no inheritance in the presence of full siblings. This is the consensus of the scholars. As for maternal siblings, full siblings do not exclude them. Rather, they are excluded by the ascending heir or the descending heir. The father and the grandfather, however high up the line, exclude them, and the son and the son’s son, however far down the line, exclude them.
