Al-Wasiyyah Al-Wajibah: Inheriting grandparents
As-Salam `Alaykum! My question is regarding estate distribution. Our family has got a land which my grandfather had bought long before. My father has died 11 years back i.e. before my grandfather. My grandfather also passed away some 7 years back without distributing the land among his children. He has 4 sons including my father and 4 daughters. Now our eldest uncle says that grandson has no share in grandfather's estate and as my father is also not alive he will also not get the share. So I just want to ask whether ISLAM has such a condition that a son after death does not have share in fathers estate and even the grandson instead of his father cannot have a share? If so, I will forget about it because following Allah’s teachings takes priority over any other consideration. I hope you will understand my question and guide me on the right path. Thank You
