Chapter on Inheritance of the Grandfather

Book of Inheritance Shares (Farā'id)

Book 32 · Issue 2 · Bab 4

Open in Qurani

Primary text

The grandfather is placed in the position of the father concerning veiling and inheritance in all matters, except in three specific exceptions. The exceptions are: 1) A case involving a spouse, father, and mother. 2) A case involving a spouse, father, and mother, where the mother receives one-third of the remainder when the father is present, but would receive one-third of the entire estate if the grandfather were in the father's place. 3) The inheritance share of the grandfather when present with full- or half-siblings, which is a point of difference.
