How is the sum of 30,0 Egyptian Pounds left by the deceased to be divided among her heirs, who are: three full brothers, a husband, and three full sisters, given that one of the deceased's brothers is missing and cannot be reached?
The missing brother, whose death has not been established and has not been declared dead by a court, is considered among the heirs. His share is reserved for him until his death is known or declared by a Sharia court, after which his share is distributed among his heirs.
If the deceased woman left no heirs other than her husband and full brothers and sisters (with a missing brother present), the husband receives half due to the absence of a descendant heir. The remainder goes to the full brothers and sisters by ta'sib (agnatic succession), with the male receiving the share of two females.
The inheritance (30,0) is divided into eighteen shares: The husband receives nine shares (15,0). Each full brother receives two shares (3,333.33), and each full sister receives one share (1,666.66). The missing brother's share is held until his return or until a court rules on his death.
