One of my relatives recently passed away. He has left behind his wife and both his parents are also alive. He also has a brother who is alive. He has no children.
Please can you advise how his wealth should be distributed among the inheritors.
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
Answer:
Based on the information provided, the following outlines how the wealth of the deceased should be distributed:
Wife – 25% (1/4)
Mother – 25% (1/4)
Father – 50% (1/2)
The brother is not entitled to any share.
