The answer

Grandparents are like parents in the obligation of righteousness and maintaining kinship ties. The maternal grandparents may be given precedence over the paternal grandparents. A child is not attributed to his maternal grandfather but to his father. Scholars have differed regarding the inclusion of daughters' children in the grandfather's progeny.
