What is the distribution of inheritance between a paternal aunt (Khala) and a maternal uncle's son (Ibn Ammah)?
Chapter on Distant Kindred (Dhawu al-Arham)
Al-Mughni
Book of Inheritance Shares (Farā'id)
Primary text
The paternal aunt (Khala) inherits one-third (al-Thuluth), and the remainder goes to the maternal uncle's son (Ibn Ammah). This is the ruling established by Al-Thawri and those who prioritize distant relatives alongside closer ones in inheritance distribution.
Supporting text
The majority of commentators (Al-Manzilin) and relatives hold that the entire estate belongs to the paternal aunt because she is closer in lineage.
