Chapter 15.0

The heirs of a lady who dies, leaving two cousins – her maternal brother and her husband.

باب ابْنَىْ عَمٍّ أَحَدُهُمَا أَخٌ لِلأُمِّ وَالآخَرُ زَوْجٌ

وَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِلزَّوْجِ النِّصْفُ، وَلِلأَخِ مِنَ الأُمِّ السُّدُسُ، وَمَا بَقِيَ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَانِ.

‏ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، فَمَنْ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ مَالاً فَمَالُهُ لِمَوَالِي الْعَصَبَةِ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ كَلاًّ أَوْ ضَيَاعًا، فَأَنَا وَلِيُّهُ فَلأُدْعَى لَهُ ‏

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I am more closer to the believers than their ownselves, so whoever (among them) dies leaving some inheritance, his inheritance will be given to his 'Asaba, and whoever dies leaving a debt or dependants or destitute children, then I am their supporter."
