Inheritance Of A Person Who Is Not Alive At The Time Of Actual Distribution
On behalf of acquaintance.
Our Father passed away. We five brothers and sisters and our mother (the deceased’s wife) inherited his property. Along with that our grandmother is still alive who also inherited from our father’s property. The property has not been sold yet. In future, when we sell it and distribute the shares, if our grandmother is not alive, would her share from her son’s (our father) inheritance go to our uncles and aunts or that would stay with us?

If you are seeking an official fatwa on inheritance distribution then please send complete information on the following link and the team will get back to you:
https://www.ghamidi.org/fatwa/
__
As per the Quran, only those heirs who are alive have a share in the legacy of a person at the time of his death.
(This should not be confused with share of an orphaned grandchild because orphaned grandchild is not given share of his father, rather he is given share as an actual heir who has taken place of his father as an ‘aqrab’).
Therefore, the share of the mother of the deceased will be hers if she was alive at the time of her son’s death. Now after her death, her inheritance will be distributed in accordance with the inheritance law and that share now belongs to her total inheritance and will be distributed as such (i.e. that share will not stay with you only).
