The second question is that Asad's wife has also died and her heirs include one brother, two sisters and one daughter. In what proportion would the inheritance be divided among these?
(1) Assad's daughter will not receive any of her grandfather's inheritance in this case.
(2) After bearing expenses of funeral and burial, payment of loan and if there was a legitimate will granted to any one then after executing the will in one-third of estate, the total property shall be divided into eight (8) parts, of which The daughter will get four (4), brother two (2) and one sister each (1).

"وقال زيد: «ولد الأبناء بمنزلة الولد، إذا لم يكن دونهم ولد ذكرهم كذكرهم، وأنثاهم كأنثاهم، يرثون كما يرثون، ويحجبون كما يحجبون، ولا يرث ولد الابن مع الابن»".

وأما بيان الوقت الذي يجري فيه الإرث فنقول: هذا فصل اختلف المشايخ فيه، قال مشايخ العراق: الإرث يثبت في آخر جزء من أجزاء حياة المورث، وقال مشايخ بلخ: الإرث يثبت بعد موت المورث".
