[Can husband inherit the share of his deceased wife ?]

Fatawa Question

Salam, Ustazna, Hope you are well. I hope you clarify the answer for this question ; you answered one point, when the daughter dies, what about if the mother died, can her husband inherit her share in her mother’s estate ? Your answer was : If this married woman dies, as you said, she has no father, no child, she has a husband, a mother and a brother ; distribution is derived from the verses 11 and 12 of Surat An-Nisaa' (no. 4). It is as follows : mother inherits 1 / 3 (a third) of her estate, the husband 1 / 2 and brother the remainder 1 / 6. Her husband’s child does not inherit anything.
