How is the inheritance divided among the heirs: one (son of a son), one (paternal grandfather), one (full brother), one (half-brother through the father), one (daughter), and one (full sister)?
If the heirs are limited to a grandfather, a daughter, and a son's son, and the deceased left no other heirs besides them, then the grandfather receives one-sixth due to the presence of a descendant heir. The daughter receives one-half. Whatever remains after the grandfather's and daughter's shares is taken by the son's son by taʿṣīb (agnatic inheritance). The brothers and sisters receive nothing, as they are excluded by the son's son. The inheritance is divided into six shares: one share for the grandfather, three shares for the daughter, and two shares for the son's son.
It is advisable not to divide an inheritance without consulting the Sharia courts, due to the gravity of the matter and the possibility of other heirs, wills, debts, or other rights taking precedence over the heirs' rights.
