How is the property of a deceased person who left a wife but no children distributed?

  • He has 2 brothers, 1 older (no children and a widow) who died 10 years ago and another younger brother (who has 2 sons and a daughter and a widow) who died 3 month before that.

  • He has 2 sisters, who both already died (both sisters have several sons and daughters).

  • Some of his cousins are alive and have several sons and daughters.

  • His parents are already dead.

  • His younger brother has 2 sons and a daughter, who are apparently legal heirs.

Please guide me according to Qur'an and sunnah, in this case who will have a share in the property. Property is in the form of agricultural land.

  • Am I correct to assume that the deceased person plus all of the people you have mention are Muslim and are of one religion?

This website or this can help you.

According to both sites I mentioned, after the share of wife, ALLremaining assets will go to the two nephews (none will go to nieces):

Relative        Share Fraction    Share Percentage
--------        --------------    ----------------
Wife            1/4               25%
FullNephew 1    3/8               37.5%
FullNephew 2    3/8               37.5%
