one-sixth of the remainder of the estate, and five-sixths of it go to the brother's son. Abu Hanifah said: The estate is divided between the mother's mother and the daughter into four parts, by fixed share and return.

Section: If the son of the woman who performed li'an leaves no one with a fixed share, the estate goes to his mother's agnates according to the opinion of the group. This has been narrated from 'Ali. Abu Hanifah and his companions said: It is divided among the uterine relatives (dhawi al-arham) like the inheritance of others, and they narrated this from 'Ali (peace be upon him). This is like the case of a maternal uncle and a maternal aunt, and a brother's son and his sister: the estate goes to the male. According to the view of Abu Hanifah, it is shared equally between them in both cases. Regarding a maternal aunt through both parents and a maternal uncle through the father, the estate is for the maternal uncle. Abu Hanifah said: It is for the maternal aunt. Regarding a maternal aunt and a daughter's daughter, the estate is divided between them into four parts. If the son of the woman who performed li'an leaves only a uterine relative, their rule in his inheritance is like their rule in the inheritance of others, according to what has been previously explained.

Section: When the inheritance of the woman who performed li'an is distributed, and then the husband who performed the li'an calls himself a liar, the child is affiliated with him and the distribution is voided. Abu Hanifah said: The lineage is not established after his death, unless they were twins, one of whom died while he called himself a liar and the other remains; then the lineage of both the living and the deceased is established, and the discussion with him regarding this has already passed in another place.

Section: If the one denied by li'an were twins, and they had another brother from the husband whom he did not deny, and one of the twins died, the inheritance of his twin from him is like the inheritance of the other, according to the opinion of the majority. Malik said: His twin inherits from him as a brother through both parents, because he is his brother through both parents, evidenced by the fact that if the husband acknowledged one of them, the other would also be affiliated. This is one of the two views held by the companions of al-Shafi'i (may Allah be pleased with him). Our position is that they are twins, and no father has been established for them to whom they could be attributed, so they are like the twins of a fornicator, and there is no disagreement.
