1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased leaves behind only male descendants, and the son's son is of a lower degree than the daughter's daughter, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir, the daughter's daughter receives one-half, and the remainder goes to the son of the son's son by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship). The son of the son's son does not make the daughter's daughter, who is of a higher degree, a residuary heir as long as she inherits by fard (fixed share). The inheritance is divided into 24 shares: 4 shares for the mother, 3 shares for the wife, 12 shares for the daughter's daughter, and 5 shares for the son of the son's son.
