Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33288 — A woman who left her maternal

Fudayl reports from Ibrahim that he said concerning a woman who leaves behind her maternal half-sister and her mother and has no residuary heir ('asabah): for her maternal half-sister is a sixth, and for her mother five shares; this is the judgement of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him). And on this Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said that for her maternal half-sister is a sixth of the estate, for her mother is one third of the estate, and the rest of the estate is to be kept in the public treasury (Bayt al-Mal). And in this case Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the judgement that the estate is for the two of them according to their shares in the inheritance, and so he decreed one third of the estate for the maternal half-sister and two thirds of the estate for the mother.
