Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 524/444/B=1431)

Equal shares should be given to all four bhatija (nephews) provided all these four bhatijas are his legal heirs after his death. It is sin to give one heir by depriving the others without any valid reason. It is mentioned in hadith that one who deprives an heir without a valid reason; Almighty Allah would deprive him from Jannah on the Day of Judgment.

If anyone from the brother or parents and children of your paternal uncle (mamu) is alive ask the question again by writing the details thereof.
