Allah and speak for justice.
Those that devour the property of orphans unjustly, swallow fire into
their bellies; they shall burn in the flames of fire.
Allah has thus enjoined you concerning your children:
Amale shall inherit twice as much as a female. If there be more than
two girls, they shall have two thirds of the inheritance; but if there be
one only, she shall inherit the half. Parents shall inherit a sixth each, if
the deceased has a child; but if he has no children and his parents be his
heirs, his mother shall have a third. If he has brothers, his mother shall
have a sixth after payment of any bequest he may have bequeathed, or
debt.
You know not whether your parents or your children are more
beneficial to you. But this is the law of Allah; He is Wise and All-
knowing.
You shall inherit the half of what your wives leave if they die
childless. If they leave children, a quarter of what they leave shall be
yours after payment of any bequest theymay have bequeathed or debt.
Your wives shall inherit one quarter of what you leave if you die
childless. If you leave children, they shall inherit one eighth, after
payment of any bequest youmay have bequeathed, or debt.
If a man or a woman leave neither children nor parents and have a
brother or a sister, they shall each inherit one-sixth. If there be more,
they shall equally share the third of the estate, after payment of any
bequest that may have been bequeathed or debt without prejudice (to
the rights of the heirs). This is a commandment from Allah. He is
