Scholars have differed regarding the obligation of justice among grandchildren in giving gifts, and the fatwa adopted by us is that it is not obligatory.
Accordingly, a grandmother's gift of her share of her son's inheritance to her male grandchildren is permissible, and that share is considered exclusive to them once the gift is complete.
As for disposing of ill-gotten wealth, what is Islamically required is to dispose of the amount that the father acquired from usury. Any method of disposal will suffice, as long as the amount given out is not less than the forbidden amount.
