Sirs, A muslim shia man dies intestate leaving behind his wife and a divorcee daughter having no issues . Property is in the form of an ancestral undivided property(under suit for partition), where this muslim man is holding 1/5th share.his parents are no more, and so also his siblings who have all expired. But his uterine full brother and uterine sisters have children and grand children.
Please specify share of the widow and the daughter, and elaborate on the balance share if any to the residual rightful owners.

Under Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937 all the law of inheritance will be governed by Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) which is available in this site.
