If the deceased woman has no heirs except her husband and her mother, the inheritance is divided between them as follows: The husband receives half, due to the absence of a direct descendant. The mother receives one-third, due to the absence of a direct descendant and multiple siblings. The mother then takes the remainder by way of رد (return). Thus, the inheritance is divided into two halves: half for the husband, and half for the mother. If there is a full paternal uncle, or a half-brother from the father's side, or a paternal cousin, they would take what remains after the husband's and mother's prescribed shares.
