The answer

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 fatwa (religious edict) alone is not sufficient. Rather, the matter must be referred to the Sharia courts, as there might be other heirs, wills, or debts. And Allah knows best.
