The questioner : A brother tells us that he died before his father, leaving behind a son and a daughter. Do they have a share in what their grandfather left behind, alongside their uncles, or do they have nothing?
The Shaykh : They have no share in the presence of their uncles, because if a male descendant is found above the children of sons, they do not inherit anything. The rule regarding the inheritance of descendants is that if a male is found at a higher level, he blocks those below him, whether they are male or female. Accordingly, the children of the son have nothing from their grandfather’s inheritance in the presence of their uncles.
The questioner : This sister, Huda N. M. from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, sent a message.
