What is the share of the deceased's heirs (wife, 7 daughters, son's son) from his estate, which consists of two plots of land, and is it permissible for the son's son to take his full share from only one plot of land?

The grandson is not obligated to compel the remaining heirs to take his share from a single plot of land. Rather, all heirs are partners in both plots, and each has an undivided share in each plot commensurate with their share of the inheritance.

If a person dies and leaves behind: a wife, seven daughters, and a grandson, and leaves no other heir, then: - The wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant heir. - The seven daughters receive two-thirds, divided equally among them. - The remainder goes to the grandson by virtue of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance).

Each land plot is divided into 168 shares: - The wife receives 21 shares. - The seven daughters receive 112 shares (16 shares for each). - The grandson receives 35 shares.
