How is the inheritance distributed among the heirs: one (son of the son of the son), two (full brothers), three (paternal half-brothers), and one (daughter)?
If the deceased's heirs are limited to his daughter and his grandson (son of his son's son), the inheritance is divided as follows:
- The daughter: One-half as a prescribed share (fard), based on the Almighty's saying: "And if there is only one [daughter], she will have half." - The grandson (son of his son's son): The remaining half by right of residuary inheritance (ta'sib), because he is the primary residuary heir, and according to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) hadith: "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them, and what remains is for the nearest male relative."
There is nothing for the paternal half-siblings or maternal half-siblings due to the presence of the grandson; they are completely excluded from inheritance. The inheritance is divided into two shares, one for the daughter and one for the grandson (son of his son's son).
