Free Islamic Inheritance (Mirath / Faraid) 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.

Worked example

Example

An estate of $300,000 with a surviving wife, one son and one daughter: after debts and expenses, the wife receives her fixed 1/8 share, and the remainder is split between the son and daughter in a 2:1 ratio as Asabah (residuary heirs).

Who uses this tool

Tips for the best results

• Settle funeral expenses, debts, and Wasiyyah in that exact order before any heir share is calculated — this calculator does it automatically, but the order matters.
• A Wasiyyah bequest to a legal Faraid heir isn't valid without the consent of all other heirs — keep any bequest to non-heirs and within the one-third cap.
• Hajb (blocking) rules matter: a father blocks a grandfather, and sons or a father can block full brothers — verify complex family structures with a knowledgeable scholar.
• Use this as a starting calculation for family discussion, not a final legal document — complex estates should be reviewed by a qualified Islamic scholar or lawyer.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Distributing the estate before settling debts, funeral costs and Wasiyyah in the correct order.
• Exceeding the one-third cap on Wasiyyah bequests to non-heirs.
• Missing a Hajb (blocking) rule in a complex family structure, leading to an incorrect distribution.
