What is the share of the wife, the brother, and the two sisters from the inheritance of a man who died and left no children?
The wife receives one-fourth of the inheritance due to the absence of children, as Allah the Almighty says: (But if you have no child, she shall have one-fourth of what you leave). As for the remainder, it is divided among the brother and two sisters, with the male receiving the share of two females, if they are all full siblings or all paternal siblings, as He the Almighty says: (And if there are brothers and sisters, then the male shall have the share of two females). It is necessary to refer inheritance matters to the courts for investigation, as there might be other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
