Do the sons and daughters of the brothers and sisters inherit from a woman who died unmarried and has no living brothers or sisters?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Her male nephews (full brothers' sons or paternal half-brothers' sons) inherit from the woman, but her nieces (brothers' daughters) or her sisters' children do not inherit from her (because they are from among the relatives by kinship).
