What is the ruling on dividing the inheritance of a husband and wife who died in an accident, with each of them leaving a son from a different spouse, given that the husband left 600 feddans and the wife left 200 feddans?

If the death of one spouse is known to precede the other, the later-dying spouse inherits from the earlier-dying spouse by consensus. If they both die at the same time, neither inherits from the other by consensus. However, if their situation is unknown and it is not known who died first, neither inherits from the other, according to the sounder opinion. Instead, the heirs of each, who are alive, inherit.

It must be noted that matters of inheritance are serious and complex. A mere fatwa is insufficient; rather, the case must be presented to the Sharia courts for investigation and consideration of the existence of other heirs, wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the right of the heirs.
