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?
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.
