This overview does not replace the Arabic text, a complete translation or tafsir. Use the linked Quran source for the verses in context and a qualified scholar for juristic application.
An-Nisa 4:11 — Children and parents
This verse addresses the principal shares of sons and daughters, one or multiple daughters, and the deceased's parents. It also places distribution after bequests and debts.
An-Nisa 4:12 — Spouses and maternal siblings
This verse establishes the husband's and wife's shares according to whether descendants exist, and addresses maternal siblings in a kalalah case.
An-Nisa 4:176 — Kalalah and siblings
This verse addresses full or paternal siblings when a person dies without the relevant ascendants or descendants described in the juristic definition of kalalah.
Why the fractions alone are not a complete calculator
A complete case also requires identifying eligible heirs, applying blocking and residuary rules, and handling adjustments such as awl and radd. Juristic schools can differ in some special cases, so adding the visible fractions is not enough for every family structure.
