The answer

The paternal uncle's daughter and her children are not heirs; rather, they are considered kin (dhawu al-arham). If a person dies, leaving behind sons of a paternal uncle's son and no other heirs, then the entire inheritance belongs to them equally, as they are asabah (agnatic heirs). As for the daughters of the paternal uncle's son, they receive nothing because they are considered kin (dhawu al-arham). The matter of inheritances must be brought before the courts or discussed directly with scholars to verify all heirs, wills, and debts before dividing the estate.
