Do the children of maternal siblings inherit?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The children of the deceased and the children of his sons prevent the mother from receiving one-third, reducing her share to one-sixth, because of the common factor of having children. So why do the children of maternal siblings not prevent the mother from receiving one-third, reducing her share to one-sixth, because of the common factor of being siblings? The children of maternal siblings have no share; they are not heirs.
Answer:
Inheritance is only for the maternal siblings themselves. As for their children, they have no share because they are among the close relatives (dhawu al-aram). Yes.
