This is a query about inheritance of a self-acquired property of a married woman belonging to Khoja [Shia muslim] community. After the death of the woman does the daughter-in-law of the woman receive a share in self-acquired immovable property of the woman? Whether different rules apply if the son [husband of the daughter-in-law] has predeceased the owner of the self-acquired immovable property? What rule applies if the son is not predeceased?

In the fact situation given by you, the daughter in law is not entitled to any share.
If her husband was alive when her mother-in-law died, then her husband might have got some share. Thereafter, if he had died, naturally as a widow of the deceased husband, she would have been entitled to a share in the property left behind by her husband (not by her mother-in-law).
