۞
If a woman dies and leaves behind her husband, her father, and siblings (whether they are from both parents, the father's side, or the mother's side), the husband receives half of the inheritance, and the remainder goes to the father. The siblings, whether brothers or sisters, inherit nothing alongside the father or the mother. Similarly, if she leaves behind her husband, her mother, and siblings (whether they are from both parents, the father's side, or the mother's side), the husband receives half of the inheritance, the mother receives one-sixth, and the remainder is returned to the mother. The siblings are entirely excluded because the mother holds a fixed share and is the closest relative by direct lineage, whereas the siblings are related indirectly. If she leaves behind her husband, her mother, maternal siblings, and a sister from both parents, the husband receives half of the inheritance, and the remainder goes to the mother. If she leaves behind her husband, both parents, and siblings from both parents or from the father's side, the husband receives half, the mother receives one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the father. However, if the siblings are solely from the mother's side, the husband receives half, the mother receives one-third, and the father receives one-sixth.
إِنْ تَرَكَتِ امْرَأَةٌ زَوْجَهَا وَ أَبَاهَا وَ إِخْوَةً وَ أَخَوَاتٍ لِأَبٍ وَ أُمٍّ أَوْ لِأَبٍ أَوْ لِأُمٍّ فَلِلزَّوْجِ النِّصْفُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْأَبِ وَ لَيْسَ لِلْإِخْوَةِ وَ الْأَخَوَاتِ مَعَ الْأَبِ وَ لَا مَعَ الْأُمِّ شَيْ‌ءٌ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِنْ تَرَكَتْ زَوْجَهَا وَ أُمَّهَا وَ إِخْوَةً وَ أَخَوَاتٍ لِأَبٍ وَ أُمٍّ أَوْ لِأَبٍ أَوْ لِأُمٍّ فَلِلزَّوْجِ النِّصْفُ وَ لِلْأُمِّ السُّدُسُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ رُدَّ عَلَيْهَا وَ سَقَطَ الْإِخْوَةُ وَ الْأَخَوَاتُ كُلُّهُمْ لِأَنَّ الْأُمَّ ذَاتُ سَهْمٍ وَ هِيَ أَقْرَبُ الْأَرْحَامِ وَ هِيَ تَتَقَرَّبُ بِنَفْسِهَا وَ الْإِخْوَةُ يَتَقَرَّبُونَ بِغَيْرِهِمْ فَإِنْ تَرَكَتْ زَوْجاً وَ أُمّاً وَ إِخْوَةً لِأُمٍّ وَ أُخْتاً لِأَبٍ وَ أُمٍّ فَلِلزَّوْجِ النِّصْفُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْأُمِّ فَإِنْ تَرَكَتْ زَوْجَهَا وَ أَبَوَيْهَا وَ إِخْوَةً لِأَبٍ وَ أُمٍّ أَوْ لِأَبٍ فَلِلزَّوْجِ النِّصْفُ وَ لِلْأُمِّ السُّدُسُ وَ لِلْأَبِ الْبَاقِي وَ إِنْ كَانَ الْإِخْوَةُ مِنَ الْأُمِّ فَلِلزَّوْجِ النِّصْفُ وَ لِلْأُمِّ الثُّلُثُ وَ لِلْأَبِ السُّدُسُ.
