The Ruling on the Inheritance of Cousins in the Absence of a Barrier

Question
A man died and has no wife, no children, and no siblings, but he has male and female cousins. Do his male and female cousins inherit from him?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: The inheritance goes to his male cousins; because they are a group (asabah), and God knows best.
