Answer:
(Fatwa: 680/498=L/1430)
In case the mother and maternal grandmother are not alive, the paternal grandmother will have right to nurture the child. Therefore, in the case mentioned above, your mother shall have right to nurture the child. The property and wealth left by your wife shall be distributed as follows: after paying due rights preceding inheritance, all the wealth will be distributed in 12 shares, out of which 3 shares will be given to husband, 2 share to her father and 7 shares to his son. Her brothers and sisters shall have no share in her property.
