Prioritizing full siblings over paternal siblings in inheritance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, when do only the full siblings (brothers and sisters) inherit, excluding the paternal or maternal siblings?

Answer:
Full siblings take precedence over paternal siblings because they are stronger in kinship, as they are connected by two lines of kinship, whereas paternal siblings are connected by only one line of kinship. Therefore, there is no inheritance for paternal siblings when full siblings are present. This is the consensus of the scholars. As for maternal siblings, full siblings do not exclude them from inheritance. Rather, they are excluded only by an inheriting ancestor or an inheriting descendant. The father and the grandfather, however high in the lineage, exclude them, and the son and the son’s son, however low in the lineage, exclude them. Yes.
