The answer

The daughters' children do not have a prescribed share in their grandmother's inheritance, unless she bequeaths something to them within the limit of one-third. The law of obligatory bequest (al-wasiyya al-wajiba) enforced in some countries is not Islamically sound, and it is incorrect to attribute it to the four madhhabs or early scholars.
