Article 53 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

The grandfather’s guardianship is conditional neither on the father being alive nor on his death. When both are present, each shall independently exercise guardianship, and if either dies, guardianship shall belong exclusively to the other.
Arabic original
لا يشترط في ولاية الجد حياة الأب ولا موته، فعند وجودهما معاً يستقل كل منهما بالولاية، وإذا مات أحدهما اختصت الولاية بالآخر.
