If the funds from the Takaful (mutual solidarity) fund are given to the heirs of a deceased employee, they must be given to his legal heirs.
If the deceased's brothers are among the heirs (e.g., in the absence of a father or a son), then the brother's bequest to them is invalid and may not be executed except with the consent of the other heirs, based on the : "Indeed, Allah has given every rightful person his right, so there is no bequest for an heir."
However, if they are not among the heirs, then the bequest to them is valid within the limit of one-third.
The matter of inheritances must be referred to the judiciary for consideration and investigation.
