What is the share in inheritance for the son of the son of the son, the father, the full paternal uncle, the paternal uncle who is the father's brother from the father, and the son of the paternal uncle from the father?
If the deceased left only those mentioned, then the father receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, as Allah the Almighty says: "And for his parents, each of them is to have a sixth of what he left if he has a child." The remainder goes to the son of the grandson by virtue of 'asabah (residuary heir), based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Give the prescribed shares to those who are entitled to them, and whatever remains is for the closest male relative." There is nothing for the remaining heirs because they are excluded by the male lineal descendant and the father. The inheritance is divided into six shares: one share for the father, and the rest for the son of the grandson. It is advisable to refer inheritance matters to the courts for investigation.
