If your grandfather and grandmother died before the death of your father, likewise your maternal grandfather and grandmother died before the death of your mother, then in the question mentioned above whatsoever your father and mother left including the said house, cash, property, jewelries and other assets, shall be divided into 10 shares after paying due rights preceding inheritance. Out of the total, 2-2 shares shall go to each brother while each sister shall get 1-1 share. The Shariah division of the property is as follows:

Son:                  3x02 = 06

Daughters:        4x01 = 04

Total:               10 Shares
