How is the inheritance distributed among the deceased's male heirs: (two sons, and one grandson), and his female heirs: (one daughter, and three granddaughters)?
If the deceased leaves no heirs except two sons, one daughter, one grandson (son of a son), and three granddaughters (daughters of a son), then the inheritance goes to his two sons and one daughter by way of ta’sib (agnatic succession), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty’s saying: {Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females}. The grandson and granddaughters receive nothing because they are excluded by complete exclusion ( hajb hirmān ) due to the presence of a son. Thus, the inheritance is divided into five shares: two shares for each son and one share for the daughter.
