The answer

Custody and upbringing are not considered among the causes of inheritance. The causes of inheritance are limited to three: marriage (Nikah), wala' (clientage), and kinship (Nasab). The nephew (sister's son) and the niece (brother's daughter) do not have a share in the inheritance of the maternal aunt or the paternal aunt because they are not legal heirs.
