Understanding Islamic Inheritance (Faraid)
Faraid is the Islamic law of inheritance derived from the Quran and Sunnah. It prescribes fixed shares (Fard) for specified relatives of the deceased, with remaining estate going to residuary heirs (Asaba).
Fixed Shares (Fard)
| Heir | Condition | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Husband | With children | 1/4 |
| Husband | Without children | 1/2 |
| Wife | With children | 1/8 |
| Wife | Without children | 1/4 |
| Father | With sons | 1/6 |
| Mother | With children or 2+ siblings | 1/6 |
| Mother | Without children and <2 siblings | 1/3 |
| Daughter(s) | One daughter, no sons | 1/2 |
| Daughters | Two or more, no sons | 2/3 |
| Sister(s) | One sister, no brothers/sons/father | 1/2 |
| Sisters | Two or more, no brothers/sons/father | 2/3 |
Key Concepts
Residuary (Asaba): After fixed shares are distributed, the remainder goes to residuary heirs in order of priority: sons, then father, then brothers. When sons and daughters inherit together as residuary heirs, each son receives twice the share of each daughter.
Blocking (Hajb): Some heirs are blocked by closer relatives. Sons block brothers and sisters. The father blocks the grandfather and also blocks brothers and sisters.
Awl (Proportional Reduction): When the total of fixed shares exceeds the estate, all shares are proportionally reduced so they fit. This ensures fairness when there are many fixed-share heirs.
Radd (Redistribution): When fixed shares do not exhaust the entire estate and there are no residuary heirs, the surplus is redistributed proportionally among fixed-share heirs (excluding the spouse).
Wasiyyah (Bequest): A Muslim may bequeath up to one-third of their estate to non-heirs via a will. The remaining two-thirds (or more) must be distributed according to Faraid rules. The wasiyyah is deducted after debts and funeral expenses but before inheritance distribution.
