COMMON CASES
Explore common family situations and see how shares are determined. Each case includes eligible heirs, blocked relatives, exact shares, and clear explanations.
A wife and both living parents, with no children - a classic Umariyyatayn case.
A wife, one son, and one daughter - children share the remainder in a 2:1 ratio.
The daughter receives her Qur'anic half, and the remainder passes to the parents.
The same family structure viewed from the daughter's side: her half, plus both parents' shares.
Two or more daughters share two-thirds together, and the parents take their fixed sixths.
With no descendants and no father figure, a full brother and sister share as residuary heirs.
A full sister becomes a residuary heir (asabah ma'a al-ghayr) alongside the deceased's daughter.
With no other heirs, the leftover residue is returned (Radd) to the mother and sisters.
Fixed shares exceed the whole estate, so every share is proportionally reduced (Awl).
After fixed shares, the remainder is returned to blood heirs - never to the spouse.
