My father-in-law died 1 month ago, he had 8 children of which 1 daughter died 5 years ago, my father-in law did not leave a will. 1. Do the children of the deceased daughter inherit a share of my father-in-laws estate? 2. if they do, what is their share?
Answer:
(Fatwa: 894/837=D/1429)
When the daughter died when her father was alive then her children will have no share in the property of her father after his death, if other heirs of her father are present.
