What is the legal ruling regarding a man who died and left behind a son of a son, and a son of a daughter?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The question is unclear, but if the deceased left behind only two grandsons (sons of a son) and one grandson (son of a daughter), then all the wealth belongs to the two grandsons (sons of a son), divided equally between them. The grandson (son of a daughter) inherits nothing because he is not among the legal heirs. We emphasize that inheritance matters are serious and complex, requiring submission to courts for investigation and to ensure that there are no other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
