2098. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Give the shares of inheritance to those who are entitled to them. As for what remains, then it is for the closest male relative." (Sahīh) (Another chain) with similar meaning. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan. Some of them reported it from Ibn Tāwūs, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ in Mursal form.
٢٠٩٨ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَلْحِقُوا الْفَرَائِضَ بِأَهْلِهَا فَمَا بَقِيَ فَهُوَ لِأَوْلَى رَجُلٍ ذَكَرٍ». ٢٠٩٨ (م) - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَقَدْ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرْسَلًا.

[1] An-Nisā' 4:176.
The Qur'an spells out the shares of four male and eight female members of the deceased person's family. These shares are known as Farā'id (prescribed shares). Those entitled to inherit such shares are called Ashāb' Al-Furūd (recipients of prescribed shares). The law also stipulates that if a portion of the deceased person's wealth remains undistributed among the eligible heirs, it shall go to ʿAṣabah (the next of kin from the father's side not otherwise entitled to get it). ʿAṣabah, by its very definition, is not related to the deceased person through the intervention of any female member between the two. In case there are more members of this category than one, the one nearest in relation to the deceased person would get precedence over others.
