Answer:

 

 

Yes, according to the law of inheritance in Islam you will have a share in the estate of your deceased mother.

The house of your mother should be valued and divided into 8 shares (provided her parents have passed away during her life time) which will thereafter be distributed as follows;

2 shares will go to her husband (your stepfather).

2 shares to each of her sons (you and your stepbrother).

1 share to each of her daughters (your stepsisters).
