Islamic inheritance (Fara’id) is a divine system detailed in the Quran for fair wealth distribution after death, prioritizing spouses, parents, and children with fixed shares, generally giving sons double the share of daughters, but with specific rules for mothers, fathers, husbands, and wives, while secondary heirs (like siblings) inherit what remains or if primary heirs aren’t present, all based on specific Quranic verses and Hadith. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Principles:
- Divine Command: Distribution is a religious duty, acknowledging Allah as the ultimate owner of wealth.
- Priority: After debts/bequests, specific heirs get fixed shares (Quranic Heirs or Dhaw-u’l-Fara’id); the rest goes to residuary heirs (Asaba).
- Gender Shares: Generally, a son gets double a daughter’s share, but mothers and fathers get equal shares (1/6) if there are children. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
Key Heirs & Shares:
- Spouse:
- Wife: 1/8 if children, 1/4 if no children.
- Husband: 1/4 if children, 1/2 if no children.
- Parents: Mother & Father get 1/6 each if there are children/grandchildren; Mother gets 1/3 (no children/siblings), Father gets more (residue).
- Children: Sons get double daughters’ shares. Two+ daughters get 2/3; one daughter gets 1/2.
- Brothers/Sisters: Receive shares only if no children/father/grandfather, with shares varying (e.g., uterine siblings get 1/6 or 1/3). [1, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Exclusions:
- Non-Muslims cannot inherit from Muslims.
- Murderers cannot inherit from victims, nor can slaves. [11]
Process:
- Pay Debts & Fulfill Bequests (up to 1/3 of estate).
- Distribute Fixed Shares to Quranic Heirs (Spouse, Parents, Children).
- Distribute Remaining Estate to Residuaries (e.g., brothers, uncles, nephews).
- If no heirs, property goes to the state. [1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12]
