Mahommedan Law

Thus when a man has died leaving a daughter it full sister and the son of a half-brother by the father—onhalf of the inheritance is given to the daughter and the other half to the sister who is a residuary with the daugter and nearer to the deceased than the brother's son. [...] Of the individuals of the first class of uterine relations or distant kindred --which comprises the children of daugters and the children of son's' daughters the nearest of them in degree to the deceased is the person preferably entitled to the succession. [...] According to the other disciple of Abil Hanifa the property will be divided into twenty-eight shares out of which 8 shares will be given to each of the daughters of the daughter's son's daughter 6 shares to the daughter of the daughter's (laughter's son and 3 shares to each of the sons of the (laughter's daughter's daughter. [...] two of which are analogous to those recognised by the Sunnis ; but whilst the Shiaits postpone the right of succession of the emancipator until after the blood relations are all exhausted the Sunnis give the preference to the emancipator over the " uterlie'relations" of the dceased. [...] When there are sharers and no residuaries the residue of the property after the allotment of the shares is divded among the sharers by the principle of Return in the proportion of their shares.
