Does the estate of a man who died and has no heirs except two full sisters and the sons of full brothers go to the two sisters or to the sons of his brothers?
The method of inheritance distribution cannot be determined until the heirs are definitively and unambiguously identified. This can be done through the provided link. It is necessary to ascertain the heirs who were alive at the time of the deceased's death. If one of the heirs dies after the primary deceased, their share is then divided among their own heirs. If the deceased leaves behind only two sisters and their brothers' children, then the two sisters receive two-thirds, and the children of the full brothers receive the remainder by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. We emphasize that matters of inheritance are complex and critical; therefore, it is advisable to refer them to Sharia courts or consult specialized scholars to verify all heirs, wills, debts, and other rights.
