Step-by-step explanation

In the order a scholar would set it out: who is excluded, then each share, then the final adjustment.

  1. Daughter1

    One half: an only daughter with no brother.

    Quran 4:11Family Code art. 604

  2. 1/2 is left with no residuary to take it, so it goes back to the fixed-share heirs in proportion to their shares (radd).

    Family Code art. 596
يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنثَيَيْنِ

Quran 4:11 · "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, the share of two females…" Shares of children and parents.

For information only. Have it checked by a notary or a qualified scholar. This assumes no heir is missing, unborn or under an impediment.
