The inheritance of a paternal cousin from his paternal cousin’s daughter who has a daughter

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, does a man inherit from his father’s paternal cousin’s daughter who has only one daughter, and that daughter has several children and a daughter?

The Shaykh:
Yes, does he inherit?

The questioner:
Does a man inherit from his father’s paternal cousin’s daughter who has only one daughter, and that daughter has several children and a daughter?

The Shaykh:
His father’s paternal cousin’s daughter, and the daughter has what?

The questioner:
She has only one daughter.

The Shaykh:
The deceased, I mean.

The questioner:
You are acting.

The Shaykh:
My mother’s paternal cousin’s daughter has a daughter, yes.

The questioner:
And the daughter has several children and a daughter.

The Shaykh:
Her children have nothing; the children of the deceased’s daughter have nothing. So her daughter gets half, and the rest goes to her paternal cousin as an ascendant heir.

The questioner:
And if her daughter dies, does he inherit from her, or do her daughter’s children inherit?

The Shaykh:
The residuary heirs inherit from her. It is the residuary heirs who take the wealth, because they are residuary heirs. Her daughter's children are among the distant relatives, and the distant relatives have no share when residuary heirs are present.
