Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a person dies leaving a wife, a mother, and nephews, then the wife receives one-fourth due to the absence of a direct heir. The mother receives one-third due to the absence of a direct heir or a group of siblings. The remainder of the inheritance goes to the nephews, but only the males among them.
