Islamic Inheritance Distribution Schedule
Detailed breakdown of inheritance shares according to Islamic Shariah Law (Mirath)
Understanding Islamic Inheritance
Islamic inheritance law (Mirath) is based on the Quran and Sunnah, providing specific shares for eligible heirs. The distribution varies based on the family composition and surviving relatives. Below are the detailed schedules for different scenarios.
When the Deceased is Male
Scenario 1: Survived by Wife, Parents, and Children
| Heir | Share | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Wife | 1/8 (12.5%) | When there are children |
| Father | 1/6 (16.67%) | When there are children |
| Mother | 1/6 (16.67%) | When there are children |
| Sons | Remainder divided equally | After fixed shares |
| Daughters | Half of son's share each | When there are sons |
Scenario 2: Survived by Wife and Parents (No Children)
| Heir | Share | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Wife | 1/4 (25%) | When there are no children |
| Father | Remainder after mother's share | No children present |
| Mother | 1/3 (33.33%) | No children or siblings |
Scenario 3: Survived by Daughters Only (No Sons)
| Heir | Share | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| One Daughter | 1/2 (50%) | Only one daughter |
| Two or More Daughters | 2/3 (66.67%) shared equally | Multiple daughters |
| Father | 1/6 (16.67%) | When daughters present |
| Mother | 1/6 (16.67%) | When children present |
| Wife | 1/8 (12.5%) | When children present |
When the Deceased is Female
Scenario 1: Survived by Husband, Parents, and Children
| Heir | Share | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Husband | 1/4 (25%) | When there are children |
| Father | 1/6 (16.67%) | When there are children |
| Mother | 1/6 (16.67%) | When there are children |
| Sons | Remainder divided equally | After fixed shares |
| Daughters | Half of son's share each | When there are sons |
Scenario 2: Survived by Husband and Parents (No Children)

|---|---|---|
| Husband | 1/2 (50%) | When there are no children |
| Father | Remainder after mother's share | No children present |
| Mother | 1/3 (33.33%) | No children or siblings |
Special Cases and Rules
Male vs Female Inheritance
Generally, male heirs receive twice the share of female heirs in the same category (e.g., sons vs daughters). This is because males have financial responsibilities for their families.
Charitable Bequests (Wasiyya)
Up to 1/3 of the estate can be allocated to non-heirs or charities. The remaining 2/3 must be distributed according to Islamic inheritance laws.
Debts and Expenses
Before any distribution, the following must be paid in order: 1) Funeral expenses, 2) Debts, 3) Wasiyya (up to 1/3), 4) Inheritance distribution.
Exclusions
Certain individuals cannot inherit: murderers of the deceased, non-Muslims (except in specific circumstances), and slaves (historically).
Siblings Inheritance (When No Children)
When Deceased Has No Children or Grandchildren
| Heir | Share | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Full Brothers | Remainder after fixed shares | When no sons |
| Full Sisters | 1/2 if one, 2/3 if multiple | When no brothers |
| Half Brothers (paternal) | After full siblings | No full siblings |
| Half Sisters (paternal) | 1/2 if one, 2/3 if multiple | No full siblings or brothers |
Important Notes
Scholarly Consultation
These tables represent general principles. Complex family situations may require consultation with qualified Islamic scholars for accurate distribution.
Calculation Methods
When shares don't add up to 100% (known as 'Awl or 'Usbah), specific calculation methods are applied by Islamic inheritance experts.
Jurisdictional Variations
Different Islamic schools of thought may have slight variations. Consult local scholars familiar with your specific circumstances and madhab.
