The Quranic law states that if the deceased person leaves behind a son, the orphaned grandson cannot be a heir. Is this not unlawful and an injustice shown to orphans?

• By disallowing the right to inheritance to the orphaned grandson, does Islam mean to leave him to his fate? What is the solution prescribed by Islam for this problem ?

• Considering the provision that if there is only a single son he is entitled inherit the wealth of the father, is it not a clear breach of justice that if there is but a single daughter who is the heir to inheritance, she be given only one-half of the total wealth and if there be more than one daughter, they be given only from two-thirds of the total assets of the father ?

• In accordance with the Quranic law, the three daughters of the deceased person are allotted two-third and the parents one-third of the wealth of inheritance in the event that they are all alive, there will be nothing left of the wealth of inheritance. Then from where can the one-eighth part for the wife (4:12) be provided for ? Does this not show that the laws of inheritance mentioned in the Quran are impracticable ?
