Do the children of a deceased son inherit their father's share of their grandfather's estate if their father was a half-brother?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The share of the deceased eldest brother, after the father's passing, transfers to his heirs. Thus, his children inherit their father's share from their grandfather's estate; they do not inherit directly from the grandfather. Issues concerning inheritances must be brought before courts or orally presented to scholars due to their complexity and ramifications.
