Right in grand mother property

Inheritance opens only after the death of a Muslim. No person may be

an heir of a living person (Nemoest haeres viventis). Therefore, unless a

person dies, his heirs have no interest in his properties. Unlike Hindu

law, the Muslim law of inheritance does not recognise the concept of

‘right by birth’ (Janmaswatvavad).

Under Muslim law, an heir does not possess any right at all before the

death of an ancestor. It is only the death of a Muslim which gives the

right of inheritance to his legal heirs.
