The Ruling on Returning the Remainder to the Spouses in Inheritance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Why is it not said that the remainder is returned to the spouses so that one who has no kinship does not inherit?

Answer:
The return of the remainder to the spouses is based on scholarly consensus, because the spouses are not relatives, and they are not connected to each other by any bond of kinship; rather, they inherit solely by virtue of the marriage.
