Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdu Rabbih Ibn Said that Abu Bakr Ibn Abdulrahman Ibn AlHarith Ibn Hisham only gave a fixed share to two grandmothers together. Malik said; The generally agreed on way of doing things among us in which there is no dispute and which I saw the people of knowledge in our city doing; is that the maternal grandmother does not inherit anything at all with the mother. Outside of that; she is given a sixth as a fixed share. The paternal grandmotherdoes not inherit anything along with the mother or the father. Outside of that she is given a sixth as a fixed share. If both the paternal grandmother and maternal grandmother are alive; and the deceased does not have a father or mother outside of them; Malik said;.I have heard that if the maternal grandmother is the nearest of the two of them; then she has a sixth instead of the paternal grandmother. If the paternal grandmother is nearer; or they are in the same position in relation to the deceased; the sixth is divided equally between them. Malik said; None of the female grand-relations except for these two has any inheritance because I have heard that the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; gave the grandmother inheritance; and then Abu Bakr asked about that until someone reliable related from the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; that he had made the grandmother an heir and given a share to her. Another grandmother came to Umar Ibn AlKhattab; and he said; I am not one to add to fixed shares. If there are two of you together; it is between you. If either of you is left alone with it; it is hers. Malik said; We do not know of anyone who made other than the two grandmothers heirs from the beginning of Islam to this day.
