Is the sister specified as a full sister?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Did the questioner not specify the sister?

The Shaykh : Yes, but the ruling indicates that she is a full sister.

The questioner : Should not the questioner ...?

The Shaykh : He must know, did not Allah say:
but [only] a sister, she will have half of what he left وله أخت فلها نصف ما ترك
[An-Nisa 4:176]
He said "sister" and did not specify by mother or father or as a full sister, but it is known that she is a full sister, or a paternal half-sister, or a maternal half-sister. From where? From the ruling.
It is possible that he asked him and he informed him, and it is possible that he knew the case beforehand, but we know that she is not a maternal half-sister; we know this from the ruling.
