Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second, third, and fourth questions of Fatwa No. ( 1934 )
Q2: Is it permissible for a daughter to inherit from the lawful property of her deceased father, given that he has not divided his inheritance and his father is still alive?
A2: If the daughter referred to in the question is the one who died, as mentioned in the first question, then she inherits only from the estate of her deceased husband; based on the hadith mentioned and the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) regarding wives:[An-Nisa 4:12] . As for the father of the deceased who was alive at the time of his son's death, she has no share in the father's wealth. If there is a dispute in the matter, the reference is the court to resolve the issue among all parties.
The problem is shared by all of them.

And for the wives is one fourth if you leave no child. But if you leave a child, then for them is an eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt.
وَلَهُنَّ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكُمْ وَلَدٌ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ وَلَدٌ فَلَهُنَّ الثُّمُنُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ تُوصُونَ بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍThe problem is shared by all of them.
