The Meaning of the Blessed Brother and the Unlucky Brother in Inheritance Law

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another section in which he says regarding this topic in inheritance law: What is meant by the blessed brother and the unlucky brother?

Answer:
The blessed brother is the one who, if he were not there, his sister would be excluded from inheritance; he is the one who makes her an heir. As for the unlucky brother, he is the one who, if he were not present, his sister would inherit; but because he is present, she is prevented from inheriting due to one of the obstacles to inheritance. This is either because the fixed shares are exhausted, meaning they are taken by the heirs of fixed shares and nothing remains for the residuary heirs, or for some other reason. Yes.
