Granddaughter\u2019s Share in Islamic Inheritance Law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Islamic inheritance law, the share of a granddaughter (from a son only) is determined by several factors, including the presence or absence of sons and daughters, as well as the number of grandsons and granddaughters from a son. The granddaughter’s share is calculated based on the specific circumstances of the deceased. Here are the different scenarios and the corresponding shares:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The granddaughter will receive 1\/2 if all the following conditions are met<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. The deceased has only 1 granddaughter from a son, AND<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The deceased does not have a son, AND<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The deceased does not have a daughter, AND<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The deceased does not have a grandson from a son<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In this case, the deceased has only one granddaughter from a son and no sons & daughters, and no grandsons from a son, the granddaughter is entitled to receive half (1\/2)<\/strong> of the total estate. This means the granddaughter’s share is 50% of the estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Granddaughters will receive 2\/3 if all the following conditions are met<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. The deceased has multiple granddaughters from a son, AND<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. The deceased does not have a son, AND<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. The deceased does not have a daughter, AND<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. The deceased does not have a grandson from a son<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      If the deceased has multiple granddaughters from a son and no sons & daughters, and no grandsons from a son then in this case, granddaughters are entitled to receive two-thirds (2\/3)<\/strong> of the total estate. This means the granddaughter’s share is 66.67% of the estate which will be divided equally among all granddaughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Granddaughters will receive 1\/6 if all the following conditions are met<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. The deceased has one or multiple granddaughters from a son, AND<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. The deceased has just one daughter, AND<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. The deceased does not have a son, AND<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. The deceased does not have a grandson from a son<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        If the deceased has just one daughter, no sons, and no grandsons from a son, in this case, granddaughters (from the son only) are entitled to receive one-sixth (1\/6)<\/strong> of the total estate. This means the granddaughter’s share is approximately 16.67% of the estate which will be divided equally among all granddaughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Granddaughters will receive Residual Shares if all the following conditions are met<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. The deceased has granddaughters & grandsons from a son, AND<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. The deceased does not have a daughter, AND<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. The deceased does not have a son<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          When there are surviving grandsons, the granddaughter would be the residual sharer and not the prescribed sharer. In this case, the granddaughter would get half (1\/2)<\/strong> of what the grandson receives. In other words, granddaughters get half the share of their brothers. This is based on the principle of the Quranic verse [Surah AnNisa 4:11]<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          For example, if there is one granddaughter and one grandson, the granddaughter would receive one-third (1\/3) of the inheritance, while the grandson would receive double, which is two-thirds (2\/3) of the inheritance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

          Conclusion:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          These rules ensure that the granddaughter’s share is determined based on the specific circumstances of the deceased, including the presence or absence of sons, daughters, and grandsons from a son, with the primary aim of preserving the rights of the granddaughter in accordance with Islamic inheritance laws and principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
