Does a grandchild take from his grandfather’s inheritance according to the law?

The questioner: That Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) did not legislate in His Book or in the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that a grandchild inherits. He asks for the evidence for this, because he knows this fact, but he says this evidence is one, and he says, for example, if the man-made law permits him to receive, meaning his share of the inheritance, may he take it?

The Shaykh: They demand the evidence. He demands the evidence and takes it. Yes. Our Shaykh, may I make an observation? How does he permit himself to take? Meaning, he says this man says that people, unfortunately, have become accustomed in this time to the father dying and the heirs remaining without their distribution, and then the son, the grandchild, dies. I think this is a right; in this case, he takes from his father what the father is entitled to from the grandchild’s grandfather. Yes, that is what is intended, our Shaykh. But if the first one is on our bed, he requires evidence to take. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Welcome. Now, our Shaykh, what is the evidence that we should take, if you please? I do not have it at hand. Do not have it at hand, may Allah reward you with good, our Shaykh. And you as well.
