How is an inheritance divided between one son, five daughters, and one granddaughter (from a son)?
If the deceased has no heirs other than those mentioned, then after the payment of his debts and bequests, the inheritance is distributed as follows: The deceased's sons and daughters divide the entire inheritance, with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: {Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females} [An-Nisa: 11]. However, the granddaughter does not inherit anything because she is blocked by the deceased's sons.
The inheritance is divided into seven shares: two shares for each son, and one share for each daughter.
The matter must be referred to the courts to verify the heirs, debts, bequests, and other rights.
