What is the division of the inheritance of a deceased person who has no ascendants, no descendants, and no relatives except for a paternal uncle's daughter and her brothers' sons?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The inheritance of a deceased person who has no relatives except his paternal uncle's daughter and his paternal uncle's grandsons devolves upon the paternal uncle's grandsons, equally, if the paternal uncle was a full brother or a consanguine brother. The paternal uncle's daughter inherits nothing because she is from the dhawu al-arham (relatives by womb) and not among the legal heirs. Inheritance cases must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
