A'mash narrates that Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to distribute inheritance in the case of a daughter, granddaughter, grandsons, sons of full sisters, and sons and daughters of half-siblings in such a way that he would give half of the wealth to the daughter. Then he would see, if enough wealth remained to be given to the males so that they would receive more than one-sixth, he would not give them more than one-sixth. And if they received less than one-sixth, he would give it to them and would not consider it a loss. And other companions of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them) used to say that for this woman, half of the wealth is due, and the remaining wealth should be distributed in such a way that one male receives the share equal to that of two females. Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the basis of this issue will be derived from the number six.

If it were up to me, I would have given him one-sixth, and then he would have shared the remainder of the wealth with the other paternal cousins.

And regarding this, Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the verdict that the wealth will go only to him, not to the other paternal cousins of the deceased. Abu Bakr states that this issue, according to the opinion of Hazrat Umar, Hazrat Ali, and Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with them), will be resolved from six shares, and according to the opinion of Hazrat Abdullah and Shurayh (may Allah be pleased with them), it will be resolved from one share, and that will be the entire wealth.

And Hazrat Ibn Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) said that half of the estate is for the husband and the remainder is for the maternal brother. Hazrat Abu Bakr said that this issue, according to the opinion of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), will be resolved from the number six, of which three parts (i.e., half the estate) will be for the husband, and one-sixth for the maternal brother, and the remaining two parts will be divided between them. And according to the statement of Hazrat Ibn Masood (may Allah be pleased with him), this issue will be resolved from two parts, of which half will be for the husband and the remainder for the maternal brother.
