What is the share of each heir from the inheritance after the death of a woman who left behind a daughter, a son's daughter, a full brother, and full brother's sons?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The daughter inherits one-half as a prescribed share, and the remainder goes to the full brother by 'asaba (agnatic succession), while the sons of the full brother and the daughters of the daughter do not inherit. This is because the daughters of the daughter are from among the uterine kin (dhawu al-arham), and the sons of the full brother are excluded by the full brother. Inheritance cases must be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation.
