[Nisa
4:7] For men is a share from what the parents and near relatives leave behind,
and for women is a share from what the parents and near relatives leave
behind, whether the wealth (inheritance)
is small or large; the share is a fixed one.
[Nisa
4:8] And if relatives and orphans and the needy are present at the time of
disbursement, give them something from it and speak to them with kindness.
[Nisa
4:9] And those people must fear, who if they die leaving behind them young
children would be afraid for them; so they must fear Allah and speak with
fairness.
[Nisa
4:10] Indeed those who unjustly devour the wealth of orphans only fill their
bellies with fire; and soon they will go into a blazing pit.
Section
2 [Nisa
4:11] Allah commands you concerning your children; the son’s share is equal
to that of two daughters; and if there are only daughters, for them is
two-thirds of the inheritance, even if they are more than two; and if there is
only one daughter, for her is half; and to each of the deceased’s parents a
sixth of the inheritance, if he has children; and if the deceased has no
children but leaves behind parents, then one third for the mother; and if he
has several brothers and sisters, a sixth for the mother, after any will he
may have made and payment of debt; your fathers and your sons - you do not
know which of them will be more useful to you; this is the share fixed by
Allah; indeed Allah is All Knowing, Wise. |
