Hakeem bin Iqal narrates that a case was brought before Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding two paternal cousins, one of whom was the husband and the other was a maternal brother. He asked Hazrat Shurayh, "What is your opinion about this?" Hazrat Shurayh replied, "Half is for the husband and the remainder is for the brother." Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Is this your opinion?" He replied, "This is my opinion." So Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gave half of the wealth to the husband, one-sixth to the brother, and distributed the remaining wealth between the two.
