Summary
In the jurists' usage the hafid is a son's son. He is an agnatic heir by agreement, and stands in the place of a son when there is none; he makes agnatic his sisters and paternal cousins in his degree. 1 2 For the Hanbalis, a daughter's son is also a hafid, and he inherits among the kin by blood. 2 A granddaughter takes the place of a daughter when none is left and takes a sixth with a daughter. 2 On whether grandchildren enter a bequest to "the children", the Hanbalis and the Hanafi favoured view include sons' children and not daughters' children; the Shafi'is in the sounder view exclude them. 2
