What is the share of the heirs of a man who died without a direct descendant or ascendant (kalalah), and he has a sister's son from the father's side (ibn ukht li-ab), and full sisters' sons and daughters (abna' wa banat ukht ashqaa'), and he has no 'asabah (agnate heirs)?

The aforementioned deceased's relatives are from among the Dhawi al-Arham (kin by blood relationship, or uterine kin). The inheritance of Dhawi al-Arham, in the absence of Ashab al-Furood (sharers) and Asabat (residuaries), is affirmed by the majority of scholars, based on the Almighty's saying: ﴿And blood relations are closer to one another in the Book of Allah﴾, and on the saying of the Prophet, peace be upon him: "The maternal uncle is the heir of one who has no heir."

The method of their inheritance is to place them in the position of those through whom they are related to the deceased. The share of the male is like the share of the female, because they inherit by pure kinship. If the deceased has no relatives other than those mentioned, then his estate is divided as follows: the full sister's sons receive one-half, and the paternal half-sister's sons receive one-sixth. The remaining one-third is returned to them, and the estate is divided into four shares: three shares for the full sister's sons, and one share for the paternal half-sister's sons.
