Division of the estate among a daughter, the sons of a son, and the daughters of a son

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A man died, leaving behind one daughter and the sons of his son: three males and two females.

The Shaykh:
She passed away. Yes.

The questioner:
A man died, leaving behind one daughter and the sons of his son.

The Shaykh:
The sons of his son, yes.

The questioner:
Three males and two females, so how is the division different?

The Shaykh:
As you heard, the daughter gets half, and the rest goes to the children of the sons, with the male getting the share of two females. The problem is based on two: the daughter gets half by obligation, and the remaining one goes to the children of the son by residuary inheritance. As for their heads, he says, how many?

The questioner:
I. Alone.

The Shaykh:
There are three males and two females, so the problem is based on eight. The problem is based on eight, meaning their shares are proportional to their numbers. The three males represent six, and the two females represent two; with the six, that makes eight. The remainder for them is one, and their share and their number are eight. Multiply eight by two to get sixteen. Sixteen for the daughter from her original share is one times eight, which is eight. For them from their original share is one times eight, which is eight. Each male gets two, and the females get one. Yes. Two for one, and the sons get three for two. This is eight. Yes.
