As long as the father has any living son,
the widow and children of his pre-deceased son are excluded from inheriting him.
If in case at the time of demise of the father, he had not left any living sons,
in that case, his grandchildren will inherit him.
Daughter in law has no share in the property of the father in law under Muslim Law.
This rule applies to both the Sunnis and Shias.
