The answer

The estate of your paternal aunt—if her heirs are her three daughters, her husband, and her brothers' sons—is to be divided as follows: The daughters receive two-thirds due to their plurality, and her husband receives one-fourth due to the existence of a lineal descendant. What remains after the daughters' and husband's shares goes to her brothers' sons by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance), based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to their rightful recipients; then, whatever remains is for the closest male relative." The original denominator for the estate is twelve, and it rectifies to thirty-six, such that the daughters receive 24 shares (8 shares for each), the husband receives 9 shares, and 3 shares remain for the brothers' sons (one share for each).
