Inheritance from Grand Father after Mother DeathCategory: QuestionsAuthor "fiqh department"Inheritance from Grand Father after Mother Death
Abbas Shahid Baqir asked 3 weeks ago

The problem I’m faced with is rather complex so I’m hoping to look for helpful suggestions which are governed strictly under the light of Islam.
My mother passed away before the demise of my Maternal grandfather. My Nana Abu left behind an estate which is to be divided among all his offsprings now. According to the Shariah Law of inheritance, if a child passes away before the demise of the parent, His/Her ( family, children) do not inherit anything from their Grandfather’s (Maternal or Paternal) estate. But according to the amendment in Pakistan’s law of inheritance which happened somewhere in the 1960s, the grandchildren inherit whatever share their parent had in their grandfather’s estate.

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

We have to follow the Shariah law, and it is clearly mentioned that the grandchildren will not inherit from their grandparents if their parents passed away before their grandparents.
