Malik said, "The generally agreed on way of doing things among usin which there is no dispute and which I saw the people of knowledgein our citydoing, is that the child of the half-sibling by the mother,the paternal grandfather, the paternal uncle who is the maternal half-brother of the father, the maternal uncle, the great-grandmother whois the mother of the mother's father, the daughter of the full-brother, the paternal aunt, and the maternal aunt do not inheritanything by their kinship."Malik said, "The woman who is thefurthest relation of the deceased of those who were named in thisbook, does not inherit anything by her kinship, and women do notinherit anything apart from those that are named in the Qur'an. Allah,the Blessed, the Exalted, mentioned in His Book the inheritance ofthemother from her children, the inheritance of the daughters from theirfather, the inheritance of the wife from her husband, the inheritanceof the full sisters, the inheritance of the half-sisters by the fatherand the inheritance of the half-sisters by the mother. The grandmotheris made an heir by the example of the Prophet, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, made about her. A woman inherits from a slave shefrees herself because Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, said in HisBook, 'They are your brothers in the deen and your mawali.' "
