What is the wife’s share of the inheritance if her husband dies and they have no children, and her husband has full brothers?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a man dies leaving behind a wife and full brothers, what is the wife’s share of the inheritance, and they have no children?
The Shaykh:
If he leaves behind…
The questioner:
He died leaving behind a wife and full brothers, and they have no children.
The Shaykh:
They have no children. Who is it that has no children?
The questioner:
The spouses.
The Shaykh:
I do not know. This requires proof. Inheritance matters require proof before the court. Perhaps there are heirs that the questioner did not know about or did not mention. So he will not say the wife gets such-and-such and the brothers get such-and-such until this is established before the judge that there are no heirs other than these people.
