    Nisa are females any age (use context to figure out age) otherwise all girls would be excluded from inheritance who have not reached adulthood which in case of orphans their shares are kept from them until they reach adulthood/sound mind anyways which one can say would be the same for non orphans as well although up to their father.

    Nothing gets excluded from inheritance. The word used is "Women". It has no singular, just plural with diminuiive "few women". It is nowhere used for female of any age since age starts from birth to death. It solely denotes women. A person leaving behind property could be one when his daughters are already women. Moreover, as you pointed out, they are handed over inheritance only when they become women-a female having become mature to enter marriage bond. The opposite gender of her is Man not boy or child.

      peace,

      It would also exclude all young siblings from inheriting and verse 4176 ties the two together...

      4176... so if knat/they are (feminine dual) two so to them the two thirds from what left and if they were ikh'watun brothers/siblings (at least one male present) men/males wanis and females so to the male like share the two (feminine) clarifies The God to you lest you stray and The God in every a thing Knowing

      It could be that since they are incapable of managing they do not inherit. What I was after was an example, that would disprove the theory. One or two will suffice.

      All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

        Salaam,

        Because of this thread I wanted to study this subject.
        But I got stuck already in the beginning of the verse.
        I don?t understand why is translated everywhere as 2/3.
        From other words I learned that when a couple is mentioned it finishes with ?ayni?.
        So I expected here ?thulathayni? instead of ?thulathaa?.

        Also please check verse 7320
        "... "
        2 times the word thulatha is mentioned first time it?s translated as 2/3 and second time as 1/3. Does anybody know why?

        here are the other occurences from the corpusquran site
        Nominal
        (1) Noun
        (41115) thuluth two thirds
        (41142) l-thuluthu (is) one third
        (41273) l-thuluthi the third
        (417630) l-thuluthni two thirds
        (73208 ) thuluthayi two-thirds

        (2) Time adverb
        (732011) wathuluthahu and a third of it

        Salaam,
        Bender

          It is a dual noun with Noon dropped for reason of being first-annexed noun of Possessive Phrase, Ma-Relative Pronoun is the Annexer.

            Salaam brother,

            I am not sure if I understood correctly.

            What is the difference then with 4176 "... ..." looks to me almost the same.
            and why is in 7320 no Noen?
            7320 "... "

            Do you know any similar ayaat where this Noen is missing?

            Salaam and thanks,
            Bender

              This is Possessive Phrase, therefore following the rule the Noon- of dual noun is dropped as is dropped the Noon of plural in such construction. This is same word -two third. It is Nominative indicated by alif. When it is genitive you see it since it is preceded by Preposition. is the sign of genitive. Here too Noon of dual is dropped because of Possessive construct.

              is singular in Possessive Phrase.

              I hope it clarifies.

Moreover, as you pointed out, they are handed over inheritance only when they become women-a female having become mature to enter marriage bond. The opposite gender of her is Man not boy or child.

                Peace Mazhar -- I?ll leave rijal and nisa un-translated and extrapolate their meaning from verses and keeping a child?s or orphans inheritance safe until they mature does not say inheritance is only for adults and warns those in their care not eat their wealth ? i.e. the shares were already assigned although not yet distributed.

                Example mother and sister (age 2)

                4176 al-kallati if person died is not to person waladun/child born and has sister so for her half (no mention of nisa)

                1 ? 1/2 sister (fixed) = 1/2 mother (variable) no son/brother

                The above is an orphan case (fatherless child) comes with dire warning the shares belong to her.

                46 and test the orphans until when reached the marriage so if you perceive from them rational so deliver to them their wealth

                410 indeed the ones who eat wealth the orphans injustice surely eat in their bellies a fire and they will be burned a blaze

                This is Possessive Phrase, therefore following the rule the Noon- of dual noun is dropped as is dropped the Noon of plural in such construction. This is same word -two third. It is Nominative indicated by alif. When it is genitive you see it since it is preceded by Preposition. is the sign of genitive. Here too Noon of dual is dropped because of Possessive construct.

                I hope it clarifies.

                Peace Bender and thank you for the question and Mazhar for the clarification which to put in simple speech/practice ...

                411 so if are nis above two so for them 2/3

                4176 so if knat/they were (feminine dual) two so to them the third each (1/3 + 1/3)

                7320 third twice (1/3 x 2) the night and half of it (1/2 x 1) and third of it (1/3 x 1)

                  If I would give this sentence (wich is not Quran) to an arab scholar would he then know that I am talking here about 2/6 instead of 1/6?
                  "... ..."

                  Also do you have another ayaat for reference?

                    Next thing what I found hmm
                    why only this part (thulathaa) is without AL in 411, thus undefined?
                    all the other parts have AL.

                      It is okay to say it to me. Don't say it to a mathematician like Noon. Give it a second thought what you have said and laugh it out. Thanks.

                          the third
                          the half

                          No such word as the two third more like third parts; see history of fractions...

                          http//www.cimt.plymouth.ac.uk/journal/lffract.pdf

                          It could be that since they are incapable of managing they do not inherit. What I was after was an example, that would disprove the theory. One or two will suffice.

                          Peace Wakas,

                          923 and Who created the male wal-unth and the female

                          Example husband, two sons ages 10, 21 and three daughters ages 2, 14, 19
                          411 to the male like share the two (feminine)
                          412 so if kna is for them walad/son so for you the fourth

                          Obviously husband gets 1/4 and children remainder regardless of age 2, 10, 14 etc.
                          1 - 1/4 husband (fixed) = 3/4 children (variable) 21 ratio male to female

                          What if husband and three daughters ages 2, 14, 19 ? why cannot all inherit as before?
                          411 so if are nisan above two so for them two thirds
                          1 ? 2/3 (three daughters, 2/9 each) = 1/3 husband (variable) no son and there is child/born

                          What if husband and later the oldest son died brother age 10 and three sisters ages 2, 14, 19
                          4176 ... and if they were ikh'watun rijalan wanis so to the male like share the two (feminine)

                          21 ratio male to female same as when they were under the children category.

                              Salaam Bender,

                              Yes we know there is half or the half or third or the third or kalala or the kalala, etc.
                              What I'm relaying to you is that there is no such word as two third or the two third.

                              Have you read the article? http//www.cimt.plymouth.ac.uk/journal/lffract.pdf

                              See prior examples; it's third two or the third each or third parts which add to 2/3 we translate as such.

                              411 so if are nis above two so for them 2/3

                              4176 so if knat/they were (feminine dual) two so to them the third each (1/3 + 1/3)

                              7320 third twice (1/3 x 2) the night and half of it (1/2 x 1) and third of it (1/3 x 1)

                                So can you please tell me what you read there?

                                How naive. You did not give a second thought to realize your simplicity in having asked such question. You say 1/6 + 1/6= 2/6. Thereby you coined a dual word for it.

                                Qur'aan also deals with people when they are so simple. Note carefully how Qur'aan is teaching you simple mathematics alongwith Arabic

                                Again see your proposition
                                1/6 + 1/6= 2/6-------it is
                                1/3 one third.

                                  At the risk of being called naive and simple

                                  Is this what the Arabic in the Koran says

                                  = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3?

                                  Google translate says Every one of them gets one-sixth
                                  -[ giveup

                                    Salaam Bender,

                                    Yes we know there is half or the half or third or the third or kalala or the kalala, etc.
                                    What I'm relaying to you is that there is no such word as two third or the two third.

                                    Have you read the article? http//www.cimt.plymouth.ac.uk/journal/lffract.pdf

                                    See prior examples; it's third two or the third each or third parts which add to 2/3 we translate as such.

                                    Salaam Noon,

                                    I took a quick look at the article. But that was not my point.
                                    InshaAllah I will study this a bit better and come back to you.

                                    Salaam,
                                    Bender

                                      Salaam,

                                      What you don't understand or refuse to understand is that I am not intrested in the math.
                                      I took 6 because that was the first number I saw in 411

                                      Let's try it again now with a prime, inshaAllah you will now focus on my question instead of the math.
                                      "... ..."
                                      If an arab reads this, what does he read here
                                      1/5 or 2/5 or n/5 where 2<n<5 or does he read parts of 1/5 where parts is any number >1 thus it could also be 17 x 1/5

                                      InshaAllah you will now focus on what I am asking instead of being the smart guy.
                                      And I will appreciate it if you can give me a verse from The Quran where this concept is supported.

                                      Salaam,
                                      Bender

                                        Yes 1/6 and 1/6 of a quanity becomes collectively 1/3. In case the brother and sister each of whom gets one sixth are more than two the share will remain the same measuring 1/3 for all of them.

                                          Am I that unclear? I am NOT talking about the veracity of mathematics. Every schoolboy knows that.

                                          I asked

                                          "Is this what the Arabic in the Koran says"?

                                          I asked this because you claimed that "Qur'aan is teaching you simple mathematics" and then said "1/6 + 1/6= 2/6-------it is 1/3 one third" along with Arabic script.

                                          Does the Koran really say 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3?
                                          I can't find this in the Koran. When entering the sentence you quoted it does not mention that, so I was asking for clarification.

                                          I do not understand how what you are saying and what I find in the Koran fit together.
