The question

What is the share of each heir from the deceased's estate, what is the ruling on the inheritance of the granddaughter whose father died before his father, and does she have a share from her grandfather who instructed her uncles to cover her marriage expenses, knowing that the heirs are: a wife, 3 sons, 2 full brothers, and a paternal half-brother?

The answer

If the heirs of the deceased are limited to his direct children and his wife, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant, and the remainder goes to the sons by way of ta’sib (agnatic inheritance). The brothers receive nothing because they are excluded by the sons. The granddaughter does not inherit when direct sons exist, but it is recommended that she be given a share from the estate. The will to cover the costs of the granddaughter's marriage is a directive to her paternal uncles to take care of her affairs and look after her. They are obligated to show her kindness and obey their father's will.
