Ask an Alim

Would my grandmother get the share of property of my deceased father?

Q:

Assalamualaikum. My father died at 65. My grandmother left my father and remarried when he was a child. She is still alive and living with her 2nd family and children. She had no close contact with my father since she remarried.

Does she get the share of property of my deceased father?

A:

Wa alaykum salaam wa rahamtullah

Jazaakumullah for your question.
The share of the mother is not affected if she was not in close contact with her child. She still gets her share of 1/6th.
Regards
