Is the maternal uncle an heir if the mother dies, leaving behind a husband, two daughters, and a mother?
The deceased's husband receives one-fourth, her mother one-sixth, and her two daughters two-thirds. There is nothing for the full brothers or paternal half-brothers, as they are asabah (agnate heirs) and nothing remains for them in this a'ilah (over-allotted) issue, whose original denominator is 12 and which re-calculates to 13 shares. However, if the brothers are maternal half-brothers, they are completely excluded from inheritance. Please note that inheritance issues are serious and complex, and should be referred to Sharia courts or scholars to verify the heirs, bequests, debts, and other rights.
