What is the share of the wife, the full brother, the uterine brother, and the paternal brothers in the inheritance of the deceased who died leaving them, and whose parents had already died?
Your statement that the deceased's parents died carries two possibilities:
First: That they died during his lifetime. In this case, they have no inheritance, and his estate is distributed as follows: the wife receives one-fourth, the maternal brother receives one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the full brother by ta’sib (agnatic inheritance). The paternal brothers receive nothing.
Second: That the deceased left his parents alive, and then they died after his passing. In this case, his estate is distributed as follows: the wife receives one-fourth, the mother receives one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the father by fard (fixed share) and ta’sib. The brothers receive nothing.
Matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and a (religious edict) alone is not sufficient. Rather, the matter must be referred to the courts, as there might be other heirs, wills, or debts. And Allah knows best.
