in half. Multiply the half of one of them by the other, and it becomes forty-eight; then by four, it becomes one hundred and ninety-two. The daughter receives half of it, the children of the brother receive one-quarter of it through their father, and eighteen [shares] through their paternal uncle; thus, they receive sixty-six. The brother’s wife receives six, and his daughter receives twenty-four.

Section: If it is known that their spirits departed at the same time, neither of them inherits from the other, and each one is inherited by the living among his heirs; for inheritance is conditional upon the heir being alive after the deceased, and it is known that this is absent. If it is known that one of them died before the other, but it is then uncertain, each heir is given their certain share, and the remainder is held in trust until the matter becomes clear or they reach a settlement.

If the heirs of each deceased person claim that he was the last to die, this is the issue of al-Khiraqi. Imam Ahmad has explicitly stated regarding this that the heirs of each deceased shall take an oath and be entitled to his inheritance. It is possible that all other cases be measured against this one, and thus two opinions are derived for all cases. It is also possible that this ruling is specific to this case and no other, because in this case there is a claimant and a denier, and the oath is taken by the one who denies, unlike the rest of the cases. And Allah knows best.

Perhaps they adhered to the generality of His saying, the Most High: {If they have a child, then for you is one-fourth of what they leave} [4:12]. {If you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave} [4:12]. And His saying, the Most High:
