The Science of Farā'id

How Islamic Inheritance Works

Allah ﷻ has precisely defined each heir's share in the Quran. The science of Farā'id (علم الفرائض) distributes an estate after debts and bequests are settled.

📖
Quranic Foundation
Shares defined in Surah An-Nisa (4:11–12, 4:176). Allah calls those who observe these rules as entering "Gardens beneath which rivers flow."
⚖️
Fixed Shares (Fard)
Six prescribed fractions: ½, ¼, ⅛, ⅔, ⅓, ⅙. Assigned first to qualifying heirs before any residue is distributed.
🔗
Residuary (Asaba)
After fixed shares, the remaining estate goes to residuary heirs (sons, father, brothers) following a strict priority order.
📐
'Awl & Radd
'Awl proportionally reduces shares when total exceeds 100%. Radd returns surplus to non-spouse heirs when estate is under-distributed.
🚫
Exclusion Rules (Hajb)
Closer relatives may exclude or reduce shares of distant ones. Sons exclude brothers; father excludes brothers; children exclude maternal siblings.
⚡
Male:Female 2:1
When sons and daughters inherit together as residuaries, each son receives twice a daughter's share (2:1 ratio) as per Quran 4:11.

Important Notice

This calculator follows the Hanafi school of thought for common cases. Islamic inheritance law is a deep scholarly discipline — results should be verified by a qualified Islamic scholar (aalim) or Sharia court, especially for complex estates involving grandparents, grandchildren, multiple marriages, or deceased heirs. This tool is educational and for preliminary reference only.
