How is the inheritance of a woman to be distributed if she passed away, leaving behind her husband and full sisters (some living, some deceased with descendants), and her full brothers (some living, some deceased with descendants), noting that her husband passed away a few days after her, and he has descendants from another wife?
The shares of heirs differ according to the type of siblings. If they are paternal siblings, they receive no share. However, if they are full siblings, the husband gets half, and the remainder goes to the brothers and sisters, with the male receiving the share of two females. If they are maternal siblings, the husband gets half, the full sisters get two-thirds, and the maternal siblings get one-third. If there is a combination of full siblings, paternal siblings, and maternal siblings, each case has its own share as mentioned. The inheritance of each deceased person is divided among their heirs after fulfilling all rights, bequests, and debts. Inheritance cases should be referred to courts for investigation.
