Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the term "descending heir" refer only to the son, or to the children?
Answer:
The heirs are the sons and daughters. The sons and daughters are the descendants. Because kinship is divided into three categories: ancestors, descendants, and collaterals. The ancestors are the fathers and mothers, the descendants are the children and the children of the sons, and the collaterals are the brothers, sisters, unpaternal uncles, and unpaternal aunts. Yes.
