How is the inheritance distributed among a daughter, a paternal sister, and two maternal sisters, with a missing maternal sister, and a will to distribute the gold among the deceased's grandchildren?
Grandchildren, sons of the son or daughters of the son, inherit, and a will in their favor is not permissible except with the consent of the heirs. As for the children of the daughter, they do not inherit, but a will in their favor is valid. The will is executed within the limits of one-third, and anything exceeding that depends on the consent of the adult, mature heirs. If the deceased leaves behind only one daughter, she receives one-half as a prescribed share (fard), and the remainder goes to the sister from the father by 'asabah (residuary heirship). There is nothing for the two sisters from the mother or the missing sister due to the presence of a inheriting offspring (far' wārith). Warning: Matters of inheritance are serious and must be referred to courts for investigation.
