This is not a fatwa

Miraath Guide does not issue a fatwa and is not a substitute for one. It applies a documented set of Hanafi inheritance rules (see Methodology) to the family facts you enter, and shows its working. Any result should be treated as a starting point for a conversation with a qualified scholar, not a final legal or religious ruling.

Scholarly review status

The calculation engine has been built and tested against a set of reference-implementation fixtures cross-checked with classical worked examples. These fixtures are marked "reference-implementation verified, scholarly review pending" throughout the codebase and this site - we do not claim formal scholarly approval unless actual reviewers have approved the implementation.

Known limitations

• Grandmother eligibility is simplified to a confirmed count rather than modelling every line of descent.
• Paternal half-sisters do not act as asabah ma'a al-ghayr alongside daughters in this MVP (a rare case).
• Distant kindred (dhawil al-arham) are not distributed; any such surplus is labelled but not divided.
• Estate deductions - debts, funeral expenses, and bequests - are not calculated; enter the net distributable estate yourself.
• Only the Hanafi school is modelled in this MVP.
