Frequently Asked Questions
Islamic inheritance (Ilm al-Faraid) governs how a deceased person's estate is distributed among eligible heirs according to the Quran, the Sunnah, and scholarly consensus. Each heir's share depends on their relationship to the deceased and which other relatives are alive.
Before inheritance is distributed, the deceased's funeral expenses must be paid, all outstanding debts must be settled, and any valid Wasiyyah (bequest) up to one-third of the net estate must be fulfilled. Only the remaining net estate is distributed among the legal heirs.
A Wasiyyah (will or bequest) is a gift made by the deceased to someone who is not a legal heir, limited to one-third of the net estate. A Wasiyyah in favor of an existing heir is generally not valid unless all other heirs voluntarily agree to it after the deceased's death.
No. This calculator provides an estimate based on the information entered and the implemented inheritance rules. It should not be treated as a final legal or religious ruling. For definitive guidance, please consult a qualified Mufti or Islamic scholar.
Inheritance cases can involve complex issues such as unusual family structures, missing heirs, disputes among relatives, or differences of scholarly opinion. A qualified Mufti or Islamic scholar can examine all relevant details and provide a definitive ruling.
Inheritance shares vary because the Quranic entitlement of each heir changes depending on which other relatives are present. For example, a mother may receive 1/6 or 1/3 depending on whether the deceased left children or siblings. Even a single additional relative can alter the entire distribution.
