Do the deceased woman's siblings have a right to her estate that she left in the bank, given that she is survived only by her husband and three daughters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

To determine the share of brothers and sisters in the inheritance of a deceased woman, their situation is considered as follows:

1. If they are all full siblings of the deceased, or paternal siblings (brothers and sisters from the father): They inherit the remainder after the husband's share (one-fourth) and the daughters' shares (two-thirds) by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. 2. If some of them are full siblings and some are paternal siblings: The full siblings inherit the remainder. The paternal brother or sister is excluded due to the presence of the full sibling (male or female) who becomes a 'asib (residuary heir) with the daughters. 3. If they are maternal siblings (brothers and sisters from the mother): They do not inherit due to the presence of the daughters; they are completely excluded by the child.
