2715. It was narrated that 'Ali said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ ruled that the debts should be paid off before the execution of the will. You recite: '(The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies he may have bequeathed or debts.'[1] The sons of one mother (from the same father) inherit from one another, but not the sons from different mothers (but the same father)." (Da'if)
2715 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: «قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالدَّيْنِ قَبْلَ الْوَصِيَّةِ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْرَءُونَهَا» : مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصِي بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ، «وَإِنَّ أَعْيَانَ بَنِي الْأُمِّ لَيَتَوَارَثُونَ دُونَ بَنِي الْعَلَّاتِ»

[1] An-Nisâ' 4:11.
a. The issue of debt is important and serious because it remains payable in life and after death as well, whereas the will is carried out after death. On the other hand, whatever the amount of debt is, it must be paid as a will is valid only up to one third of the total amount of legacy. The amount of debt may accede from one third of the legacy. b. First of all, from the wealth of the deceased, expenditure of shrouding and burial rites are deducted. After making the payment of debt from the remaining property, whatever is left, one third or less than one third is paid according to the will, and then the remaining is distributed among the heirs. c. The real brother and sister of the deceased are given priority over the step brothers and sisters.
