ANSWER:

They do not inherit from the grandparents if their father had died before their grandparents’ death and one or more of the paternal uncles were alive at the time of the death of the grandfather 

QUESTION: I wanted to know the rulings on the rights to inheritance of a paternal orphan whose father died before his parents(the orphan’s grandparents). I heard someone saying, “An orphan doesn’t inherit if his/her parents die before his/her grandparents”. Does the Islamic sharia say so?
