What is the validity of the analysis indicating that the heirs of a deceased woman’s estate, besides her husband and children, are: her sister from her mother’s side, and the offspring and widows of her mother’s two full brothers who are from her 'asaba (agnatic relatives) only, and her brothers and sisters from her father’s side? And if there was wealth that was not distributed to all deserving heirs at that time, what should happen now?
If a woman (S) dies and leaves behind a husband, sons, a father, a mother, and maternal half-siblings, then her inheritance is divided as follows: the husband receives one-fourth, the father receives one-sixth, the mother receives one-sixth, and the remaining portion goes to the sons (with the male receiving the equivalent of two females if there are both males and females). As for the maternal half-sister and full or paternal half-siblings, they receive nothing because they are excluded by the presence of a son and a father. The son who discovered his mother's money must give one-sixth of this money to his maternal grandfather and one-sixth to his maternal grandmother. Then, the shares of the father and mother will be inherited by their heirs after their deaths. It is necessary to refer to specialized scholars in matters of inheritance to accurately determine the heirs.
