(Fatwa: 1108/934/B=1432)
If both of you and stepbrothers and sisters are from the same father, then all the property of deceased shall be divided into 72 shares as per the Shariah. Your mother shall get 9 shares, 14-14 shares will be given to each son and 7 shares to the daughter. The detail of distribution is as follows:
Detail:
Wife: 1×09 = 09
Sons: 4×14 = 56
Daughter: 1×07 = 07
Total: 73 Shares
