Commentary
In the opinion of ‘Umar, Ibn Mas’ūd, and Abū Mūsā Ash’arī ؓ, even in the presence of the deceased person’s father, the grandmother would be the recipient of inheritance. Qāḏī Shurāih, Ḥasan and Ibn Sirīn concur with this opinion. ‘Uthmān, ‘Alī and Zāid bin Thābit ؓ, however, are of the view that in the given situation, the grandmother would not get anything from the deceased person’s wealth. Imām Ishāq and Ahmad Ibn Ḥanbal concur with Ibn Mas’ūd’s position while Imām Shāfi’ī, Ath-Thawrī, Al-Awzā’ī and the “People of Opinion” are in agreement with the view held by ‘Uthmān ؓ.
