The answer

First, the deceased's debt must be paid before the inheritance is divided. Then, the remainder is distributed according to Islamic law. The father receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the remainder goes to the grandson (son of the son) by 'asaba (agnatic succession). The grandfather, paternal uncles, and maternal siblings are excluded. The inheritance is divided into six shares: one share for the father and five shares for the grandson (son of the son).
