Do the children of the deceased daughter inherit from their paternal grandmother when their maternal uncle is still alive, knowing that the other daughter did not marry and has passed away?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the daughter dies before her mother (the grandmother), then the daughter's children do not inherit from their grandmother's estate. However, if the daughter dies after her mother, then the daughter's children take their mother's share of their grandmother's estate. So, if the grandmother dies leaving only one son and two daughters, the estate is divided into four shares: two shares for the son, and one share for each daughter. The share of the deceased daughter is inherited by her heirs, including her children. The questioner is advised to refer inheritance matters to the Sharia courts for investigation and to ensure the rights of heirs, debts, and bequests.
