This issue is one of "Al-Munāsakhāt" (successive inheritances). 10 hectares equal 10,000 meters. The share of the living heirs is as follows: - The grandfather's three daughters: 4444 meters (1481.4 meters for each daughter). - The two paternal uncles' sons with their six sisters: 3125 meters (625 meters for each son, and 312.5 meters for each daughter). - The five sons of the deceased's son with their two sisters: 2430 meters (405 meters for each son, and 202.5 meters for each daughter). - Nothing for the grandmother's brothers and sisters.

It is advisable to consult trustworthy scholars. Equality in the portions must be observed during distribution. If an agreement is not reached, the land should be sold and its price divided.
