Do the sons and daughters of the paternal uncle inherit along with the sisters and the mother of a deceased unmarried daughter whose father and paternal uncles have passed away?
The method of inheritance distribution cannot be clarified until the heirs are accurately and unambiguously identified. The questioner can identify the heirs through the provided link. For illustrative purposes, if the deceased left behind a mother, three full sisters, five paternal male cousins, and three paternal female cousins, then the mother receives one-sixth, the full sisters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the paternal male cousins, excluding the females. This is based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the fard (prescribed shares) to those who are entitled to them; then whatever remains is for the nearest male." It is advisable to consult courts regarding matters of inheritance due to their complexity and intricacy, and to ensure all rights are protected.
