What is the share of the deceased wife's only brother from the inheritance of her deceased father, given that her father passed away eight months after her, and the inheritance had not been distributed during his lifetime?

If your mother-in-law left behind only her husband and five daughters, then the husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder is returned to the daughters. The estate is divided into twenty shares: the husband receives five shares, and each daughter receives three shares.

As for the estate of the husband who passed away eight months after his wife, it is divided among his heirs, and this includes his share from his wife's estate. If he left behind only five daughters and one brother, then the daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the full or paternal brother. However, if he was a maternal brother, he receives nothing due to the presence of the daughters. In this case, the entire estate of the husband goes to the daughters by obligatory share and by return.

The inquirer is advised to consult the Sharia courts for the division of inheritances due to the seriousness of the matter.
