Article 491 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

An exception to the preceding article applies if the deceased leaves a son of a full paternal uncle together with a paternal uncle related through the father only: the paternal uncle's son excludes the paternal uncle, and the entire estate belongs to him, and the paternal uncle related through the father does not inherit with him at all. If there is with them a maternal uncle or a maternal aunt, the paternal uncle's son is excluded, and the inheritance goes to the paternal uncle, maternal uncle, and maternal aunt.
Arabic original
يستثنى من المادة السابقة إذا ترك الميت ابن عم لأبوين مع عم لأب فإن ابن العم يمنع العم ويكون المال كله له ولا يرث معه العم للأب أصلا، ولو كان معهما خال أو خالة سقط ابن العم وكان الميراث للعم والخال والخالة.
