their sisters. This is the view of Abu Thawr, because female children do not inherit more than two-thirds, as evidenced by the case where they are alone, and granting them inheritance here would lead to them receiving more than that. Our argument is the saying of Allah the Almighty: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females" (7). These individuals fall under the general scope of this phrasing, as evidenced by the fact that it would apply to them even if they were not daughters, and the absence of daughters does not negate this status for them. Furthermore, every male and female who divide the wealth when there is no primary sharer among them must divide what remains, just as children of the loin, and brothers with sisters. What they cited pertains to the entitlement of a fixed share (fard); however, in our issue, they only inherit through agnation (ta'sib), so it is analogous to the children of the loin and the brothers and sisters in that case. What they cited is invalidated by the case where a person leaves a son and six daughters, for they would take three-quarters of the estate. If there were eight, they would take four-fifths. And if there were ten, they would take five-sixths. The more their number increases, the greater their entitlement becomes.

Section: The son of a son's son makes his equals among his sisters, his paternal cousins, and the daughters of his father's paternal cousin agnatic heirs in any case. He also makes those who are higher than him among his paternal aunts, the daughters of his father's paternal cousin, and those above them agnatic heirs, on the condition that they are not already fixed sharers (9). He excludes those who are lower than him, such as his daughters, his brother's daughters, and his paternal cousin's daughters. If the deceased left five granddaughters (daughters of a son), some of whom are lower in degree than others, with no male among them, and an agnatic heir (asaba), the one of the highest degree receives one-half, the second receives one-sixth, the rest are excluded, and the remainder goes to the agnatic heir. If the one of the highest degree has her brother or her paternal cousin with her, the estate is divided between them in thirds, and the rest are excluded. If she (the second) has someone with her who makes her an agnatic heir, the highest receives one-half, and the remainder is divided between him and the second in thirds. If the third has someone with her, the highest receives one-half, the second receives one-sixth, and the remainder is divided between him and the third in thirds. If the fourth has someone with her, the highest receives one-half, the second receives one-sixth, and the remainder is divided between him and the third and fourth in fourths. If the fifth has someone with her, the remainder after the fixed shares of the first and second are taken
