How is the inheritance divided for two full sisters only if their brother dies, and he was not married or had children, and their father had died before him?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The questioner did not specify the nature of the sisters' kinship (full-sisters, half-sisters through father, half-sisters through mother, or a mix) nor the father's kinship to the deceased. Limiting the heirs is a prerequisite for dividing the inheritance. The questioner can use the inheritance page on the website. If the two sisters are full-sisters or half-sisters through the father, and they inherited two-thirds, then the remainder goes to the questioning brother if he is a full-nephew (son of a full-brother) or a half-nephew through the father (son of a half-brother through father). If they are half-sisters through the mother, their share is one-third, and the remainder goes to the questioner if he is a full-nephew or a half-nephew through the father. However, if the questioner is a half-nephew through the mother (son of a half-brother through mother), then all the money goes to the two sisters, as their prescribed share and by way of return.
