The inheritance belongs entirely to the father of the maternal grandmother (Abu Umm).

If a paternal cousin (Ibnat 'Amm) or paternal aunt ('Amma) is present alongside the Khala and Abu Umm, then the father of the maternal grandmother (Abu Umm) receives one-third of the estate, and the remaining two-thirds are divided between the paternal cousin or the paternal aunt.
