Huzail bin Shurahbeel says that once a man came to Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him this question: If a person’s heirs include a daughter, a granddaughter, and a full sister, how will the inheritance be distributed? He replied that half of the total wealth will go to the daughter and the other half to the sister, and nothing will be given to the granddaughter. Then those people went to Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him the same question and also mentioned the answer of Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If I also give the same verdict, then I would go astray and would not be among the rightly guided. I will give the same decision as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave: the daughter will get half of the total wealth, the granddaughter will get one-sixth so that two-thirds are completed, and whatever remains will go to the sister.
