What is the share of the full sister, the full paternal cousin, the full paternal cousin's daughter, the full brother's daughter, and the full sister's sons from the deceased's inheritance?
The sister takes half of the deceased woman's inheritance, and the paternal cousin takes the remainder by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance). Her other female relatives receive nothing, based on the Almighty's saying: "If a man dies, and he has no child but has a sister, she will have half of what he leaves," and the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Give the prescribed shares to their rightful recipients, and whatever remains is for the closest male relative." The matter of inheritances must be referred to the courts for investigation, as there may be wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' entitlement.
