It is narrated from ‘Amir Sha‘bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that a case concerning a paternal aunt and a maternal aunt was brought before Ziyad. Ziyad said:“I am most knowledgeable of the ruling of Sayyiduna ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him); he gave the paternal aunt the status of the father and allotted her two-thirds, and he gave the maternal aunt the status of the mother and allotted her one-third.”
