Do the son of the paternal uncle's son's son and the deceased's maternal aunt's son inherit, there being no other heirs besides them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased left no heirs other than those mentioned, then the paternal aunt's son inherits nothing. The estate will be divided equally between the two sons of the son of his father's paternal uncle, provided that the paternal uncle was a full brother or a half-brother through the father. We wish to draw attention to the fact that inheritance matters are serious and complex, and it is not sufficient to rely solely on a fatwa. Rather, such matters must be brought before Sharia courts or discussed directly with scholars, as there might be unknown heirs, bequests, or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
