If a person passes away, and later their daughter, who had no children, also passes away after her father, is the husband of the daughter entitled to a share of the wealth of her wife's father?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Widowed husband has share of the wealth of his late wife. If she has inherited from her father, her husband has share in her estate. If she had any children then her husband gets one quarter but if she had no children at all neither from him or from previous marriage then her husband gets half of whatever she left.

How many daughters did the Prophet (s) have? Are there different views among the Shia scholars on this matter?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

This is a matter of different narrations in Sunni and Shia books. The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) had many fostered or adopted daughters who was looked at as his daughters according to Arab society before Islam. Many persons mixed between the real daughter (Fatimah) and the fostered and adopted daughters.

Authetuc narrations confirm that the real daughter of the Prophet and Khadija is Fatimah, while other daughters were fostered or adopted daughters. Lady Khadija (AS) had a sister Haala Bint Khowailid, who passed away leaving her daughter who were been looked after by Khadija and the Prophet (SAWA).

Some people claim that Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (as) did not marry his daughters because there were no Sayyids available, using this as evidence that a Sayyida cannot marry a non-Sayyid. Is this true?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

This claim is not true. Great Sadat scholars including Maraaje' of Taqleed, have allowed marriage of their daughters with non Sayyed Momins. The claim mentioned in your question came from certain culture with no concrete evidence in religion.
