Do grandchildren inherit from their maternal grandfather?

The questioner : Yes. Peace be upon you. Hello, yes, peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.

The questioner : Muhammad.

The Shaykh : May Allah welcome you.

The questioner : Rabi' from Dammam, if you please, Shaykh, I have a question, if you please.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Well, the deceased had a sister who passed away.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : And then my father passed away after her, so does my sister have the right to inherit from my father, and her children, I mean?

The Shaykh : Your sister's children do not inherit.

The questioner : Laila, we will inherit from my father.

The Shaykh : From your father, because your father is...

The questioner : Yes, indeed.

The Shaykh : The father of their mother is their grandfather on the maternal side.

The questioner : Yes, indeed, their grandfather on the maternal side.

The Shaykh : Samira.

The questioner : No, they have no right. I mean.

The Shaykh : We inherit from our grandfather.

The questioner : Okay, if my sisters, for example, stayed behind, my two sisters and a daughter, if they want to do what? They divide the inheritance, I mean. So if my sister's children demand the inheritance, what do I tell them, I mean?

The Shaykh : You tell them that they have no right to the inheritance, but if you give them a gift from your share, there is no harm in that.
