How is the estate of a woman who died leaving a husband, two daughters, and a brother distributed, and what is the share of each heir if her husband died before her?
If a woman dies leaving a husband, two daughters, and a full brother or a paternal brother, the husband receives one-fourth, the two daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the brother. However, if the brother is a maternal brother, he inherits nothing, and the remainder goes to the sons of brothers.
If the husband dies before his wife, he does not inherit from her, due to the unfulfillment of the condition that the heir must be alive at the time of the deceased's death.
