If the only heirs are two grandsons through a son and a full sister, the whole estate goes to the two grandsons as residuary heirs (asabah), shared equally.

Summary
If the only heirs are two grandsons through a son and a full sister, the whole estate goes to the two grandsons as residuary heirs (asabah), shared equally. The sister is fully excluded because male descendants through a son block the collateral relatives (hawashi). The ruling advises referring the matter to the state sharia court to confirm that no other heirs were overlooked.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maka semua hartanya diwarisi oleh dua orang cucu lelakinya sebagai asabah kepada simati. Dibahagikan secara sama-rata antara mereka berdua.
