Al-Mughni
Book of Maintenance (Nafaqāt)
Primary text
The paternal grandfather and the son's son are considered equal in terms of priority because they share equality in proximity, inheritance, direct lineage, and agnatic association. The same considerations that apply to the father and son may apply here, as will be detailed later.
