How is an inheritance divided among two wives, five sons, one daughter, three grandsons, and two granddaughters, taking into account the deceased's will to grant the grandchildren whose fathers have passed away the share of their fathers as if they were alive, and the heirs' refusal to exceed one-third of the estate for the grandchildren, knowing that one of the grandchildren died after his grandfather, leaving behind a mother, a brother and a sister from his mother's side, and four paternal uncles, and what is the share of each heir in shares?

We have previously explained how an inheritance is to be divided in Fatwa (definition) No. 110849. The legatees receive one-third of the original estate, and the remainder is divided among the heirs. The one-third is to be divided into eight shares, with each grandchild receiving the share of their parent. If a bequest is made to the "children of so-and-so," it is distributed equally between male and female. The inheritance of the aforementioned grandchild cannot be divided until the heirs are accurately identified and the paternal uncle, both full and half, are known. The matter must be brought before a Shariah court, as it is more capable of thoroughly investigating the details. We caution the questioner that matters of inheritance are very serious and extremely complex, and it is not sufficient to rely solely on a fatwa; rather, they must be presented to Shariah courts for consideration and verification.
