Question
A man has only one son, brothers and sisters. He has no wife and no parents. How should his estate be distributed to his heirs?
Answer
In the case concerned, the one son will inherit the whole estate of his father. The brothers and sisters of the deceased will not inherit anything. However, if this person wishes, he could make a wasiyyat for his brothers and sisters. The wasiyyat amount should not exceed one third the value of his assets.
