Article 466 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

If siblings concur, some being full siblings and some maternal siblings, and those related through both parents are females and there is one maternal brother, the full sisters shall inherit two thirds as a prescribed share and one sixth by kinship. If the relative through both parents is one female, she shall receive one half as a prescribed share, and whatever exceeds the share of the maternal relative, which is one sixth or one third, shall return to her and shall not return to the maternal relative. If paternal siblings alone are also present with them, they shall have no inheritance.
Arabic original
إذا اجتمع الأخوة بعضهم من الأبوين وبعضهم من الأم وكان المتقرب بالأبوين إناثا والأخ من الأم واحدا كان ميراث الأخوات من الأبوين بالفرض ثلثين وبالقرابة السدس، وإذا كان المتقرب بالأبوين أنثى واحدة كان لها النصف فرضا، وما زاد على سهم المتقرب بالأم وهو السدس أو الثلث ردا عليها ولا يرد على المتقرب بالأم، وإذا وجد معهم أخوة من الأب فقط فلا ميراث لهم.
