The question asked by the inquirer is unclear. However, if she means the inclusion of daughters' children in an endowment (waqf) designated for offspring (dhürriyah), then this is a matter of dispute among jurists. The preponderant view is their inclusion due to the strength of its evidence. We have previously mentioned the basis for those who argue against their inclusion and the weakness of their opinion. Such matters are resolved through judicial rulings to settle the dispute.
