Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, there is no difference of opinion in this matter that there are two types of kalalah. One is the verse that is at the beginning of Surah An-Nisa, where Allah Almighty said: "If a man dies as kalalah or a woman dies as kalalah and he has a brother or a sister (from the mother), then each of them shall receive a sixth; but if they are more than that, then they shall share in a third." This is the kalalah who has neither a father nor offspring, because until then, maternal brothers and sisters were not heirs. The second is the verse at the end of Surah An-Nisa, where Allah Almighty said: "They ask you about kalalah (inheritance), say: Allah gives you a ruling concerning kalalah: If a man dies and has no child, and he has a sister, she will have half of what he leaves; and he will inherit from her if she has no child. If there are two sisters, they will have two-thirds of what he leaves. If there are brothers and sisters, the male will have the share of two females. Allah makes clear to you, lest you go astray. Allah knows all things." This is the kalalah in which brothers and sisters become 'asabah (residuary heirs). When the deceased has no son, then with the grandfather, they will inherit in kalalah.
