How is the estate of a deceased woman to be divided if she left behind the sons and daughters of full sisters, and the sons and daughters of a half-paternal uncle?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The children of the sister and the daughters of the paternal uncle's son are not heirs; rather, they are among the uterine relatives (dhawu al-arham) and thus do not inherit. As for the sons of the full paternal uncle's son or the paternal uncle's son through the father, they are heirs and inherit all the wealth equally if there are no other heirs. However, the sons of the paternal uncle's son through the mother are not heirs. It is advisable to refer inheritance cases to courts to verify all heirs, wills, debts, and other rights before distributing the estate.
