Islamic Inheritance Calculator

This calculator handles common scenarios — spouse, children, parents, and full siblings. However, Faraid has many complex cases (grandchildren, half-siblings, Awl/Radd adjustments, etc.) that this tool may not fully cover. For actual estate distribution, always consult a qualified Mufti or scholar.

A Muslim can leave a maximum of 1/3 of their net estate as a will (Wasiyyah) to non-heirs or for charitable causes. The remaining 2/3 must be distributed according to Faraid. A will cannot exceed 1/3 without the consent of all heirs.

Yes. The order of distribution from an estate: (1) Funeral expenses, (2) Debts owed by the deceased, (3) Wills up to 1/3, (4) Faraid distribution. Only what remains after these obligations is distributed among heirs.

This is a direct Quranic ruling (Surah An-Nisa 4:11). In Islamic law, men have a financial obligation to support their families (maintenance of wife, children, parents), while women's wealth is their own. The larger share accounts for the greater financial responsibilities placed on men.

If there are no children, the spouse gets a larger share (husband 1/2, wife 1/4), the mother gets 1/3, the father gets residue. Siblings may also inherit if applicable. The calculator handles this automatically based on your inputs.

Yes. After inheritance is legally theirs, an heir may voluntarily gift or give up their share to another heir or person. However, they cannot be pressured or forced to do so. The distribution must first be done correctly per Faraid, and any transfer after that is a separate act.
