No, your paternal uncles do not inherit from your father’s property if he left behind a wife and daughters. Under Pakistani inheritance law, which follows Islamic Shariah principles, the estate is divided among the immediate heirs: the widow and children. Uncles (your father’s brothers) are not entitled to a share when direct heirs (wife and children) exist. For further assistance please reach out at ***********

Yes, under Islamic Inheritance Law, they have claim on your father's property because Islam makes your Uncles your kafeel/natural guardian and they will require that sum to take care of you, your sister and mother.

I’m sorry for your loss. May Allah grant your father mercy and give your family patience. Under Islamic inheritance law, the shares depend on which relatives are alive at the time of death. Based on what you described — your father left: a wife (your mother) two daughters no sons the basic rule works like this. 1. Your Mother’s Share If a man dies leaving children, his wife receives 1/8 (12.5%) of the estate. So your mother gets 1/8 of your father’s property. 2. Daughters’ Share When there are two or more daughters and no sons, they collectively receive 2/3 (66.67%) of the estate. That 2/3 is divided equally between you and your sister. So each daughter receives: 1/3 of the total estate. 3. What Happens to the Remaining Share After giving: 1/8 to the wife 2/3 to the daughters there is still a remaining portion (residue). Under Islamic law, the remaining amount goes to the nearest male relative from the father’s side (called ʿaṣabah). This can include: Paternal uncles (your father’s brothers) Or other closer male relatives if they exist (like your father’s father, if alive). So yes, if your father’s brothers are alive and there is no closer male heir (like a grandfather), they may receive the remaining share For queries contact me via whatsapp

Depends on what sect of Islam do you practice. If you are Shia then all the property will be divided among you and your uncles will get nothing.
