What is the share of each heir from the deceased's estate, given that he has three full nephews and two full sisters?
For the two full sisters, they receive two-thirds, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if there are two [sisters], they receive two-thirds of what he left." The remainder goes to the sons of the full brothers, based on the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them; then whatever remains is for the nearest male relative." Thus, the inheritance is divided into 9 shares: the two sisters receive 6 shares (3 for each), and each son of a full brother receives one share. The matter should be referred to the courts due to the sensitivity of issues related to inheritances and to ensure that there are no other heirs, wills, or debts.
