Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under Sunni law a bequest to an heir is invalid without the other heirs' consent; "A son" and "A widow" are heirs, whereas the son of a predeceased son is excluded by a living son and is not an heir, so a bequest to "A grandson in case of a predeceased son" is valid.
