Q: Under section 4 of the Muslim Family Laws ordinance an orphan grandchild in entitled to the share of his/her predeceased parent. Explain fully the issue; argue for or against the provision.

According to Muslim family ordinance 1996 sec:4 the children of the son and daughter have the right to inherit the equivalent to the share son and daughter of the diseased if son and daughter are died.

These law seems to be in against of the commands of Quran. But according to the Quran only son's son and son's daughter have the right of inheritance; daughter's sons and daughter's daughters do not have the right to inherit. According to the Quran son's daughter inherit same as that of his father's sister. But According to the M.F.L.O 1996 section 4 son's daughter share equivalent to the share of her father.According to the Quran if son or son's son , daughter and parents do not exit the the entitled of the inheritance will be the FULL Brothers and Full Sisters of the deceased. but here the with no existence of the parents ,sons,daughters, and son's son , the entitled are the daughter's son and daughter's daughters. This law presses the right of Full sister and Full brothers.



please guide me if i am wrong.
