Do the daughters of the paternal uncle inherit along with the wife in a case of Kalalah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Paternal uncle's daughters are considered kin (dhawu al-arham) and inherit in the absence of a sharer (ashab al-furud) or a residuary heir ('asabah), except for the husband and wife. The wife receives one-fourth due to the absence of a lineal descendant. The paternal uncle's daughters receive the remainder. It is imperative to verify the absence of any 'asabah for the deceased, such as paternal uncles and their sons.
