Is the mentioned issue "Umarid," where the brother is excluded, and the heirs are only a husband, a mother, and a father?
The 'Umarid issue (al-mas'alah al-'umariyyah) is: a husband, a mother, and a father; or a wife, a mother, and a father. In this case, the husband or wife is given their share, the mother receives one-third of the remainder, and the father takes the rest. This is the view of the majority of scholars. Ibn Abbas and the Zahiris, however, held that the mother receives one-third of the entire estate, but the first opinion is the correct one. The case mentioned here is one of the two 'Umarid issues because the brother is excluded by the father. Inheritance cases must be referred to Sharia courts due to the possible existence of heirs, wills, or hidden debts that could affect the distribution.
