A Study of the Weaker Positions in the Issues of the Paternal Grandfather and the Brothers

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the brothers and the paternal grandfather are equal in their degree of kinship?

Answer:
They take the issue. If there is disagreement in a matter, the stronger position is adopted and the second position is set aside. But it must be studied, even if it is not the position on which a ruling is issued. It is necessary to study it, know it, and know its basis. So studying is different from issuing a ruling and different from judging. You know the matter even if you do not issue a ruling on it, or if you are a judge and do not rule by it. Knowledge is not lost if we leave it. Yes, look at their basis, look at their evidence. It is just that because it is the weaker position, you delete it and that is all. Yes.
