Does the granddaughter inherit from her paternal grandmother?
The son's daughter inherits from her paternal grandmother (father's mother) under certain conditions:
1. Absence of a higher male lineal descendant: If there is a higher male lineal descendant, she is completely excluded from inheritance. 2. Absence of multiple higher daughters: If there are multiple higher daughters, these daughters receive two-thirds, and the son's daughter receives nothing. 3. Presence of a single daughter: If there is a single daughter, she receives one-half, and the son's daughter receives one-sixth as a complement to the two-thirds. 4. Presence of a son's son: If there is a son's son on her level or lower, she inherits with him by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females.
