Article 487 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

If maternal uncles and aunts coexist, in that the deceased has one or more maternal uncles and one or more maternal aunts—whether full siblings of the mother, her paternal half-siblings or her maternal half-siblings—the estate shall be divided among them unequally, the male receiving the share of two females.
Arabic original
إذا اجتمعت الخؤولة بأن كان للميت خال فما زاد وخالة فما زاد - سواء أكانوا للأبوين أم للأب أم للأم، قسم المال بينهم بالتفاضل للذكر مثل حظ الأنثيين.
