Laws of Inheritance (Al-Faraa'id)

85/15. Chapter:

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

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

Sahih Bukhari

حَدَّثَنَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ رَوْحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَلْحِقُوا الْفَرَائِضَ بِأَهْلِهَا، فَمَا تَرَكَتِ الْفَرَائِضُ فَلأَوْلَى رَجُلٍ ذَكَرٍ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Give the Fara'id (the shares of the inheritance that are prescribed in the Qur'an) to those who are entitled to receive it; and whatever is left should be given to the closest male relative of the deceased."
