Re: Sunni-Shia Inheritance laws
there probably are differences, exactly what, I don't know. but from what you've posted, if its correct, i don't see a problem with a sister not inheriting from her brother. She inherits from her father, her husband and her children. Simply I think it comes down to order of priority during inheritance. If a man dies and all all debts are paid off, inheritance is first given to the children, then the wife, then the parents if they are alive (or it could be parents fisrt, i forget) and so on. I'm sure its the same case with sunni fiqh too.
