Summary
A grandmother's share is one sixth (1/6), based on a hadith reported by Tirmizi, Abu Daud and Ibn Majah. If there is more than one grandmother, the one sixth is divided equally among them. A grandmother inherits only when the mother is absent and no other barrier exists: the father blocks his own mother, the grandfather blocks his mother, and a nearer grandmother blocks a more distant one. A non-valid grandmother falls under dzawi al-arham and is not an heir.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hadith ini jelas menunjukkan bahawa bahagian pusaka bagi nenek adalah sebanyak satu perenam (1/6).
