How to calculate inheritance in Islam?

Inheritance in Islam is calculated according to rules established in the Quran (Surah an-Nisa, verses 11-12, 176). First, debts and bequests (up to 1/3) are paid, then fixed shares (furud) are distributed, and the remainder goes to asaba.

What share of inheritance does a wife receive according to Sharia?

A wife receives 1/4 of the inheritance if the deceased has no children, and 1/8 if there are children. If there are multiple wives, this share is divided equally among them.

What is al-awl in Islamic inheritance?

Al-awl is the proportional reduction of all heirs' shares when the sum of fixed shares exceeds 100%. This rule was established by Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab.
