What is the share in inheritance for the maternal grandmother, the four paternal aunts, the two maternal aunts, and the maternal uncle?
The grandmother receives one-sixth as a prescribed share from what the deceased left, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "The grandmother was given one-sixth if there was no mother below her." The remainder she takes by way of رد (return). As for the maternal uncles, maternal aunts, and paternal aunts, they do not inherit anything because they are neither among the Ashab al-Furud (recipients of prescribed shares) nor among the Asabat (agnatic heirs). Rather, they are among the Dhawu al-Arham (relatives by blood or marriage) who do not inherit when there is a recipient of a prescribed share, other than the spouses. It is important to note that the matter of inheritances is serious and complex, and a mere is not sufficient. Rather, it must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ascertain the presence of other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the right of the heirs.
