Is the frozen amount from the husband's salary distributed to his sons and daughters after the mother's death, or does it revert to the wife and her children?

If the frozen amount is from the husband's estate, then the husband's mother receives one-sixth. However, if it is a gift from the state, it is distributed according to the state's conditions. If the husband's mother owns a portion of the amount, what she owns is transferred to her living heirs, regardless of the condition of her grandchildren. Islamic law encourages giving to non-inheriting relatives and making bequests to them.
