How is the inheritance distributed among nine full nephews and two full nieces?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the inheritance is divided as follows: The two full sisters receive two-thirds as their prescribed share, according to the Almighty's saying: "But if there are two [sisters], they receive two-thirds of what he left." The remainder goes to the sons of the full brother by way of asabah (agnatic kinship), based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them; then whatever remains is for the closest male heir." The original denominator for the inheritance is three, and it is rectified to twenty-seven. Thus, it is divided into twenty-seven shares: the two full sisters receive eighteen shares, with each sister getting nine shares, and the asabah (sons of the full brother) receive nine shares, with each one getting one share.
