How much is the share of each heir from the deceased's estate if the heirs are as follows: one wife and two full paternal uncles?
If the deceased leaves behind only his wife and two paternal cousins (sons of his full paternal uncle), then the wife receives one-fourth as her prescribed share due to the absence of children, as Allah states: "And for them (wives) is one fourth of what you leave if you have no child." The remainder goes to the two paternal cousins by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance), equally divided between them, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them, and what remains is for the closest male heir." Thus, the inheritance is divided into eight shares: two shares for the wife, and three shares for each paternal cousin.
