Do they have a right in her wealth? Do her grand children have any right in the wealth or it all belongs to the daughter? Jazakallah
Answer:
(Fatwa: 265/265/M=1431)
In the case mentioned in the question, if the parents, husband, brothers and sisters are already dead, then her half of the property will be given to her daughter and the remaining half will go to the son (or sons) of her brother if they are. The daughters of her brother, sons and daughters of her sister will not get any share in her property.
