Abu Ishaq narrates that we went to Hazrat Shurayh and asked him about the issue concerning the husband, mother, brother, and grandfather. He said that the husband gets half of the wealth and the mother gets one third of the wealth. Then he remained silent, so the person who was standing by his bedside said, "You do not consider anything for the grandfather." He says that then we went to Hazrat ‘Ubaidah, and he divided the wealth into six parts according to the statement of Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): three parts were given to the husband, and one part each to the mother, grandfather, and brother. In this way, according to the opinion of all the respected scholars, this issue will be resolved from six parts.

33371 - He said: So we came to Ubaydah and he divided it into six according to the statement of Abdullah, so he gave the husband three, the mother one share, the grandfather one share, and the brother one share (1).

33372 - (Abu Bakr said) (1): So this, according to all of their statements, is from six shares.

Ibrahim says that if a woman leaves behind her real sister and her grandfather, then according to the statements of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), the real sister will receive half of the estate. Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) used to grant one-third of the estate to the sister and two-thirds to the grandfather. Hazrat Abu Bakr says that according to the statements of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), this issue will be resolved in two shares, and according to the statement of Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), it will be resolved in three shares.

33374 - Abu Bakr said: So this, according to the statement of Ali and Abdullah, is from two shares, and according to the statement of Zayd, from three shares.

Ibrahim says that if a man leaves behind his grandfather, full sister, and paternal half-brother, then according to the decision of Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), the grandfather receives two-fifths of the wealth, that is, four out of ten shares; the full sister receives half of the wealth, that is, five shares; and the paternal half-brother receives one share. In Hazrat Zaid’s (may Allah be pleased with him) decision, the paternal half-brother returns to the full sister; his right was three-fifths of the wealth, but he was given half the wealth because three-fifths of the wealth is more than half, and the share of one sister is not more than half, even if a brother joins her. And Hazrat Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give half the wealth to the full sister and half to the grandfather, and in the presence of full brothers and sisters, he would not give anything to paternal half-brothers and sisters. And Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give half the wealth to the full sister and divide the remaining half between the brothers and the grandfather, in such a way that the grandfather was considered as one of the brothers, as long as the grandfather’s share was not less than one-sixth; if there was one brother, then the remaining half would be divided between the two; and if there were two, then half the wealth would be divided between them; and if there were three, then the grandfather would get one-sixth of the wealth and the rest would be for the brothers. Hazrat Abu Bakr says that this issue, according to the statement of Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), is derived from ten shares, and according to the statement of Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), from two shares, and Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to derive this issue from six shares when there were more brothers.

33376 - And (Ibn Mas'ud) (6) used to give the sister from the father and mother half, and the grandfather half, and he would not consider the brothers from the father (with the brothers) (7) from the father and mother (8).

33377 - And Ali used to allot to the full sister half, and (divide the remaining half among the brothers) (9) and the grandfather, and the grandfather is like one of them as long as (the grandfather's share is not) (10) less than one-sixth, (if there is one brother, then the remaining half is) (11) between them (12), and if (there are) (13) two brothers, then the half is between them, and if they are (three, then the grandfather gets one-sixth and what remains is for the brothers) (14) (15).

33378 - Abu Bakr said: So this, according to the statement of Zayd, is from ten shares, and according to the statement of Abdullah, from two shares, and (1) (according to the statement of Ali, from four and) (2) Ali makes it from six if the brothers are many.

Ibrahim says regarding the woman who leaves behind her mother, full sister, paternal brother, and grandfather, that Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) gave this ruling: the mother receives one-sixth of the wealth, the grandfather receives two-fifths of the remaining wealth, and the sister receives three-fifths of the remaining wealth. The brother returns the wealth to his sister, but he himself will not inherit anything. And regarding this, Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) gave this ruling: the sister receives three shares, the mother one share, and the grandfather also one share. And Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says regarding this issue: the full sister receives three shares and the mother one share, and two shares remain, of which one share is for the grandfather and one for the brother. Thus, according to the rulings of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), this issue is resolved from six shares, and according to the ruling of Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), it is resolved from five shares.
