Chapter on Inheritance of the Grandfather

Book of Inheritance Shares (Farā'id)

Book 32 · Issue 4 · Bab 4

Open in Qurani

Primary text

If the heirs include one brother and one sister, or three sisters, alongside the wife and grandfather, they reduce the mother's share from one-third to one-sixth (1/6). The remainder is then divided among the brother(s) and sister(s) based on a ratio of five parts. The distribution is sound if calculated from sixty.
