If a Muslim dies leaving behind a mother, 'M', a son, 'S' and a daughter's son, 'DS'. Then his property will be distributed among them by share
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The mother is a sharer who takes one-sixth when the deceased leaves a child. The son is a residuary and takes the rest, five-sixths.
A daughter's son is a distant kindred, who inherits only when there are no sharers or residuaries, so he is excluded here.
