What is the share in the inheritance for seven granddaughters (daughters of a son), three grandsons (sons of a son), two sons of a daughter, and one daughter of a daughter?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left no heirs other than those mentioned, then the inheritance is for the sons and daughters of the son, with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into thirteen shares: each son of the son receives two shares, and each daughter of the son receives one share. There is nothing for the sons and daughters of the daughter, for they are not among the heirs but are instead from the kin by maternal ties (dhawu al-arham). The kin by maternal ties do not inherit except in the absence of the sharers (ashab al-furud) or the residuaries (asabat).
