Enter estate and heirs
Use one currency. This limited model covers common Sunni-style fixed shares and residue rules for the heirs shown here only.
Methodology
This conservative workflow follows the usual order used in Faraid planning calculators:
- Start with gross estate, then subtract funeral and estate costs, debts, and a valid non-heir bequest capped at one third after costs and debts.
- Assign fixed shares for spouse, mother, father, and daughters where the shown heirs make that safe to model.
- Split residue to sons and daughters at a 2:1 ratio when sons exist. Where a father is present without sons, he may receive residue after his fixed share.
- Block full siblings when a father or descendants are present. If sibling-only residue is safely modeled, brothers and sisters split 2:1.
- Flag any unallocated residue, awl-style over-allocation, missing heir class, or complex combination for scholar and lawyer review.
Assumptions and limits
Last reviewed: 2026-05-16. This page models a narrow planning scenario only. It does not model grandparents, grandchildren through deceased children, half siblings, uterine siblings, adopted children, disputed paternity, missing heirs, estate tax, matrimonial property, local probate priority, or every madhhab detail.
- Use it as a checklist for records and first-pass discussion, not as a final ruling.
- Local law can affect executors, probate, matrimonial property, title transfer, tax, and court process.
- Complex residue, radd, awl, blocked-heir, or representation questions need qualified review.
Sources and verification
The source context for inheritance shares is Quranic inheritance guidance in Surah An-Nisa, especially verses 4:11, 4:12, and 4:176, plus standard Faraid concepts such as fixed shares, residue, blocking, awl, and radd. Links are provided for verification and discussion with a qualified scholar.
