If a person dies without a father or a child (i.e., kalalah), and their heirs are a maternal brother and a maternal sister, a full paternal nephew, two full paternal nieces, and a maternal uncle, then:
- The maternal brother and maternal sister inherit one-third, shared equally between them.
- The full paternal nephew inherits the remainder of the estate.
- The two full paternal nieces and the maternal uncle inherit nothing, as they are dhawu al-arham (relatives by kinship through the mother or through females).
The estate is divided into 3 parts: 1 part for the maternal brother and maternal sister, and the remaining 2 parts for the full paternal nephew.
