The answer

The method of distributing the inheritance cannot be determined until the heirs are precisely enumerated. If it is assumed that the deceased left behind only his wife and daughter, then the wife receives one-eighth (⅛) as a prescribed share, and her daughter receives one-half (½) as a prescribed share, with the remainder returned to her (as radd). As for the paternal cousin and the maternal cousin, they are considered kin ( dhawu al-arham) and inherit only if there are no heirs by prescribed share (fard) or by residuary right (ta'sib). In the aforementioned case, the wife and daughter are heirs.
