Which one of the following is NOT a primary heir (an heir who is never excluded) under the Sunni law of inheritance?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Under Sunni law five heirs, called primary heirs, always take a share and are never excluded: the husband or wife, the father, the mother, the son and the daughter.
A grandson (son's son) is a residuary who is excluded by a son, so he is not a primary heir.
