Do the children of the deceased daughter (one son and two daughters) inherit from their deceased grandmother, who has no children alive?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The grandchildren from the daughter, whether male or female, have no share in their grandmother's inheritance, because the daughter's son and the daughter's daughter are not inheritors in the first place. The rule is that anyone who is related to the deceased through a female does not inherit, except for the maternal sibling (ولد الأم) and the maternal grandmother (الجدة أم الأم).
