What is the Inheritance Calculator?
Calculate Islamic inheritance distribution according to the Quranic fixed shares (Fard) and residuary shares (Asabah) system, per Surah An-Nisa 4:11-12. Enter the surviving heirs — spouse, children, parents, grandparents and siblings — and the net estate value, and the calculator distributes shares to each heir automatically, handling common Hajb (blocking) rules.
Before distribution, the calculator settles obligations in the correct order: funeral expenses, then outstanding debts, then Wasiyyah (a bequest of up to one-third of the estate to non-heirs), leaving the net distributable estate that the Quranic shares are then applied to.

Questions people ask
What is Mirath (Faraid) in Islam?
The Islamic system of inheritance distribution prescribed in the Quran (Surah An-Nisa 4:11-12), defining precise fractions for legal heirs including spouse, children, parents and siblings.
What is the Wasiyyah (bequest) rule?
A Muslim may bequeath up to one-third of their net estate to non-heirs; this calculator automatically caps any entered Wasiyyah at that one-third maximum.
Who are the primary heirs in Islamic inheritance?
Spouse, children, parents and full siblings. The Quran assigns fixed fractions (Fard) to some heirs and residuary shares (Asabah) to others, primarily sons and fathers.
What deductions happen before distribution?
In order: funeral and burial expenses, all outstanding debts, then Wasiyyah up to one-third of what remains. The net amount after these is what's distributed to heirs.
What is Hajb (blocking)?
The exclusion of one heir because a closer heir exists — for example, a father blocks a grandfather, and sons or a father can block full brothers. This calculator handles the most common Hajb scenarios.
