یُوصِیکُمُ اللهُ فِى أَوْلَـدِکُمْ لِلذَّکَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الاُْنثَیَیْنِ فَإِن کُنَّ نِسَآءً فَوْقَ اثْنَتَیْنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَاتَرَکَ وَإِن کَانَتْ وَحِدَةً فَلَهَا النِّصْفُ وَلاَِبَوَیْهِ لِکُلِّ وَحِد مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَکَ إِن کَانَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَإِن لَّمْ یَکُن لَّهُ وَلَدٌ وَوَرِثَهُ أَبَوَاهُ فِلاُِمِّهِ الثُّلُثُ فَإِن کَانَ لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ فَلاُِمِّهِ السُّدُسُ مِن بَعْدِ وَصِیَّة یُوصِى بِها أوْ دیْن ءَبآؤُکُمْ وَأَبْنَآؤُکُمْ لاَ تَدْرُونَ أَیُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ لَکُمْ نَفْعَاً فَرِیضَةً مِّنَ اللهِ إِنَّ اللهَ کَانَ عَلِیماً حَکِیماً(( 11 ))

11- ALLAH CHARGES YOU CONCERNING YOUR CHILDREN, THAT A MALE SHALL INHERIT TWICE AS A FEMALE. IF THERE BE MORE THAN TWO WOMEN THEY SHALL HAVE TWO THIRD OF WHAT HE HAS LEFT. BUT IF SHE WAS ONLY ONE, THEN FOR HER SHALL BE HALF. AND AS FOR HIS PARENT, FOR EACH ONE OF THE TWO IS ONE SIXTH OF THE INHERITANCE PROVIDED HE HAS CHILD; BUT IF HE HAS NO CHILD, AND HIS HEIRS ARE ONLY HIS PARENTS, THEN HIS MOTHER SHALL HAVE ONE THIRD; (AND THE REST OF THE HERITAGE BELONGS TO HIS FATHER) OR IF HE HAS BROTHERS, THEN HIS MOTHER SHALL HAVE ONE SIXTH. ALL THIS IS AFTER THE PAYMENT OF HIS DEBTS, OR ANY BEQUEST THAT HE MAY HAVE BEQUEATHED.

WHETHER YOUR FATHERS OR YOUR SONS - YOU KNOW NOT WHICH OF THEM IS NEARER TO YOU IN PROFIT. THIS IS AN ORDINANCE FROM ALLAH, THAT ALLAH IS ALL- KNOWING, ALL- WISE.

وَلَکُمْ نِصْفُ مَاتَرَکَ أَزْوَجُکُمْ إِن لَّمْ یَکُن لَّهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَإِن کَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَلَکُمُ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَکْنَ مِن بَعْدِ وَصِیَّة یُوصِینَ بِهَآ أَوْ دَیْن وَلَهُنَّ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَکْتُمْ إِن لَّمْ یَکُن لَّکُمْ وَلَدٌ فَإِن کَانَ لَکُمْ وَلَدٌ فَلَهُنَّ الـثُّمُنُ مِمَّا تَرَکْتُم مِّن بَعْدِ وَصِیَّة تُوصُونَ بِهَآ أَوْدَیْن وَإِن کَانَ رَجُلٌ یُورَثُ کَلَـلَةً أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ وَلَهُ أَخٌ أَوْ أُخْتٌ فَلِکُلِّ وَحِد مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ فَإِن کَانُوآ أَکْثَرَ مِن ذَلِکَ فَهُمْ شُرَکَآءُ فِى الثُّلُثِ مِن بَعْدِ وَصِیَّة یُوصَى بِهَآ أَوْدَیْن غَیْرِ مُضَآرٍّ وَصِیَّةً مِّنَ اللهِ وَاللهُ عَلِیمٌ حَلِیمٌ(( 12 ))

12- AND FOR YOU SHALL BE THE HALF OF WHAT YOUR WIVES LEAVE IF THEY HAVE NO CHILD. BUT IF THEY HAVE CHILD, THEN YOU SHALL HAVE ONE FOURTH OF WHAT THEY LEAVE, AFTER THE PAYMENT OF ANY BEQUEST THAT THEY MAY HAVE BEQUEATHED OR ANY DEBT. AND YOUR WIVES SHALL HAVE ONE FOURTH OF YOUR HERITAGE IF YOU HAVE NO CHILD, BUT IF YOU HAVE CHILD THEN THEY SHALL HAVE ONE EIGHT OF WHAT YOU LEAVE AFTER THE PAYMENT OF ANY BEQUEST THAT YOU MAY HAVE BEQUEATHED OR DEBT.

AND IF A MAN OR WOMAN LEAVE NEITHER CHILDREN NOR PARENTS (HE HAS NO DIRECT HEIRS) AND HAS A BROTHER OR SISTER THEY SHALL EACH INHERIT ONE SIXTH. IF THEY ARE MORE THAN THAT, THEY SHALL EQUALLY SHARE THE ONE THIRD OF THE INHERITANCE, AFTER THE PAYMENT OF ANY BEQUEST THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BEQUEATHED, OR ANY DEBT- WITHOUT ANY PREJUDICE TO THE RIGHTS OF THE HEIRS. THAT IS A COMMANDMENT FROM ALLAH, AND ALLAH IS ALL- KNOWING, ALL- CLEMENT.
