Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Finally, your eminence is asked by Shaykh Salih about a woman who was divorced from her husband and had three children with him, then she married another man and bore four children from him as well. Then the brother passed away, and then she died. At that time, her sons from the first husband and her sons from the last husband came, each of them demanding the estate from their mother. He asks about the ruling in this matter? May Allah reward you with good.

Yes, they all inherit from their mother. The children of the first husband and the children of the second husband are all equal in this; there is no difference between them. Allah the Exalted said:
Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two femalesيُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنثَيَيْنِ
[An-Nisa 4:11]
