What is the share of the full sister, the paternal half-sister, and the paternal aunt from the estate of a man who died and left no heirs other than them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased has no heirs other than a full sister, a half-sister (paternal), and a paternal aunt, then the wealth is distributed between the two sisters only, and the paternal aunt receives nothing. The full sister takes three-quarters of the wealth, and the half-sister (paternal) takes one-quarter. This is based on the full sister's share being half, and the half-sister's (paternal) share being one-sixth, with the remainder then returned to them. Estate cases must be submitted to the Sharia courts to verify all heirs, wills, debts, and rights before distribution.
