Q 1:
A woman died leaving no husband, children, brothers or sisters. She had however a nephew from her full brother. The nephew had four full sisters and a half sister. She also had another niece. Would you please tell me who among them has the right to inherit?
May Allah grant you success!
(Part No. 16; Page No. 535)
A:
Since the nephew is the closest male blood relative, he is entitled to the entire estate left by the above-mentioned woman, if her father and mother are dead. As for the others mentioned in the question, none of them is entitled to the estate, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) stated,
Give the Fara'id (the shares of the inheritance that are prescribed in the Qur'an) to those who are entitled to them, and whatever is left is for the closest male relatives.
(Agreed upon its authenticity). May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
