Q: A few weeks ago,
my grandfather, the father of my father died. We are the children of his son, who died eight years ago. We are five boys and four girls, and he had only one daughter, the sister of my father, who also has children. Moreover, he has half brothers and half sisters from his father.
They all have children and each one of them lives in a separate house. We have a half brother from a second divorced wife. As for the properties of our grandfather, he left only: First, a house, where we and his grandsons live with our mother; and the installments of its establishment belonging to the Land Bank are not paid; Second, 140 sheep out of 575 sheep that were sold a few weeks before his death.
A:
After the death of your grandfather, the sheep and money he left are inherited by the mentioned persons, being limited to his daughter and his grandchildren (the children of his son). This division takes place after paying his debts and executing his legal will. His daughter shall take half of the inheritance, and the rest will be assigned to his grandchildren, taking into consideration that the male takes double the portion of the female. The sheep should be sold and their price should be added to the present money. Then, the total sum should be divided among the mentioned heirs.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
