He died leaving a daughter and the children of a brother; do the daughters of the brother inherit in this case?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A Muslim man died leaving a daughter and the children of a brother, and the children of the brother are sons and daughters. Do the daughters of the brother inherit in this case?

Answer:
We do not rule on inheritance for specific individuals now; rather, we provide general rules. As for the details, these are for the courts. It is necessary that when the deceased dies, his relatives go to the court and bring witnesses that he died leaving so-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so. Then the judge issues a certificate because it has been established for him that so-and-so died on such-and-such a date and that only the aforementioned people inherit from him. This is necessary. I am not inheriting for anyone or forbidding anyone; I am only providing general rules. Yes.
