What are the rights of a grandmother who abandoned her son when he was four years old and did not ask about him until he reached the age of twenty-eight, then her son passed away? Is she entitled to evict her son's wife and their four children from their home to sell it, especially given that she intends to spend the money on magic?

If the deceased's mother is still alive, her share of his estate is one-sixth, due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The mother is not deprived of inheritance due to severing kinship ties, because inheritance is based on lineage, not on the maintenance of kinship. Dealing with magic is forbidden. Scholars have differed regarding the apostasy of the sorcerer, but the grandmother cannot be declared an apostate merely for dealing with magic. Rather, her case should be referred to the Sharia court. If her sorcery is proven and she is judged to be an apostate, she does not inherit from a Muslim. But if she is judged to be a Muslim, she inherits.
