Children's inheritance from their maternal grandfather

Q: Do children inherit from their maternal grandfather? Their mother died during the lifetime of her father. If they deserve inheritance; what is their share? It should be noted that they have two uncles and three aunts in addition to the wife of their maternal grandfather.


A: If the reality is as mentioned, those children do not inherit anything from their maternal grandparents. The children are distant blood relations and distant blood relations do not inherit if there is a closer inheritance-deserving relation except for the spouses.
