Simplified: covers spouse, parents, sons, daughters. For complex cases (siblings, grandparents, radd/awl, hajb) consult a specialist.

How it works

Fixed Quranic shares (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 2/3, 1/3, 1/6) are allocated first, then the remainder goes to residuary heirs (sons get double daughters).

Formula

Fixed shares first, then residuary split among children at 2:1.

Worked example

Wife + father + mother + son + daughter for SAR 1M: wife 125k, mother 166,667, father 166,667, rest split 2:1 between children.
