A man died survived by a wife, a mother of siblings, and full siblings?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a woman dies leaving behind a husband, full siblings, and a mother, and there are no other heirs, then the mother receives one-sixth, the husband receives one-half, and the remaining portion is inherited by the full siblings by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance). However, if she leaves behind full siblings and maternal siblings, then the maternal siblings receive one-third of the inheritance, and what remains after them and the husband is inherited by the full siblings. Matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and it is not sufficient to rely solely on a fatwa; rather, the matter must be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation and consideration of wills, debts, and other rights.
