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, and we found the people of our city upon this: that the full brother is given precedence over the half-brother, and the half-brother is given precedence over the son of the full brother, and the son of the full brother is given precedence over the son of the half-brother, and the son of the half-brother is given precedence over the grandson of the full brother, and the son of the half-brother is given precedence over the paternal uncle, and the full paternal uncle is given precedence over the half-paternal uncle (who is the father’s half-brother), and the half-paternal uncle is given precedence over the sons of the full paternal uncle, and the sons of the half-paternal uncle are given precedence over the great-uncle (who is the grandfather’s full brother).
