    In summary In verse 11, there is no spouse, while in verse 12, there is a spouse, verse 176 tells how to make a taksim when there are only brothers/sisters.

    The division of inheritance realised by Allah is so simple and perfect.

    What you mean there is no spouse IN 411.. Who is spouse after all in the sight of children? Yes mother or father..
    So if mother passed away without writing bequest then 411 explains clearly... Indeed in the same verse 411 husbands share is not mentioned but 412 mentioned it.. So it doesn't mean spouse not in 411..Spouse is the one who is deceased (husband or wife or father or mother) .. 411 and 412 should be connected to get a complete division of property..

    Since 4176 is kalala no need to combine with 411 and 12..

    Am I right or against your understanding?

    411 is not complete without 412 .. That's my take.. So what you mean by 411 not mentioned spouse.. Children get properties of whose? Yes parents and parents are spouse..
    411-12 two verses agree.. But but one absolute statement..

    Note.. 411-12 property is either of deceased (husband /father) or deceased (mother /.wife). and division amongst his or her children, living single spouse and parents and siblings etc..

      No, what I'm saying is very simple.

      In verse 11, the deceased did not leave behind wife/husband.

      In verse 12, the deceased has wife/husband and is alive.

      In verse 176, the deceased has only his brothers/sisters as heirs.

        You mean if I am not mistaken

        411 = both parents deceased

        412 = one spouse either husband or wife alive

          In verse 11, there may be parents and their shares are described in this verse(We are talking about the parents/mum, dad of the deceased). But the deceased does not have a wife/husband, that is, his wife/husband died before him.

            Let me get some clarification from you for the sake of anyone who didn't get it..

            There is a family..
            David and Linda husband and wife..
            And David and Linda has only one son Adam..
            And David has his parents Mary and Micheal...
            Well David deceased...
            Now David had 10000 USD after all debts etc..
            Let us know how this 10000 USD is devided between Linda, Adam, Mary and Micheal based on 4"11-12?

            Thanks

            Note Additionally...replace Adam with Sofia (as only daughter) and explain..
            And suppose Adam and Sofia both are there and explain pls..

              Since both the wife and the child are the inheritance here, the 12th verse of Nisaa explains the relevant division (already every sentence of this verse explains what to do if there is a spouse left behind)

              "If you have children, then one-eighth of what is left after the payment of your will and your debt belongs to your wives."

              According to this sentence, if a man leaves behind his wife and has children, only these people can be heirs. The wife gets one eighth of the inheritance and the remaining seven-eighths goes to the child. Even if the deceased has parents or siblings, they cannot get a share in this case.

              Linda gets $1250, Adam gets $8750.

                        Why I ask in this way is cuz 411 and 412 should be combined to answer..

                          Since the wife remains, verse 12 should be looked at again.

                          Again, only the wife and child can receive a share of the money.

                          Linda gets $1250, Sofia gets $4375, Emily gets $4375 .

                                  Linda $1250 , Sofia $8750.

                                  Yes... Thanks..
                                  Now people might be wondering in case if not got the verses right. they would question it is mentioned "if only One Daughter ' she gets Half but here the amount is not Half what is explained by brother Emere..
                                  Well.. Let me clarify..

                                  At least minimum ONE MALE Child + 1 daughter as I said conditional... Both will get half.. Suppose David had Sofia and Adam as children both Sofia and Adam get equal after Linda amount is given.. 8750/2=4375 for each Sofia and Adam and Linda 1250..

                                  If David had Adam and two daughters Sofia and Emily.. Then 21 equation apples after Linda's amount is given..
                                  8750/4= 2187.5 ..so both Sofia and Emily gets 2187.5 each while Adam gets 4375...

                                  • but if Davif had Adam and Sofia, Emily and Alice then 2/3 fir daughters after Linda's portion is given..

                                  8750/3=2916.66 ..2916.66 for Adam but Sofia, Emily and Alice gets 5833.33..So Sofia, Emily and Alice gets 1944.44 each..
                                  Any objections pls let me know..

                                    If David had two sons and two daughters then equation is undeniably 21 in favor of male children..
                                    Even David had two sons and three daughters equation remains same 21 for male child..

                                    Even if David had THREE sons and only ONE daughter equation is 21 in favor of sons..

                                    It's all about ONE MALE CHILD..

                                    I know those verses are criticized by Arab christians etc vehemently as if these divisions are wrong and unfortunaly conventional Muslims also agree and... Shame..

                                      But note well if parents are alive and if the deceased has a child gender male parents gets 1/6 each.. Daughters there anyway gets..

                                      So.. I would like ask Emere why parents not got any share? When no parents have given the proportions but if parents there proportions chsnges.. Agree? Or Any objections?

                                        If parents are alive of the deceased person never neglect them... 411 clarifies..

                                        So let's see below with parents..

                                        If David has one son and one daughter and wife and his both parents then

                                        10000/8 =1250 for wife..
                                        10000/6 =1666.66 for each parent
                                        5416.67/2=2708.33 for each son and daughter
                                        Any objection?

                                          411
                                          " ... And for one's parents, to each one of them(dual) is a sixth of his if he left child (Walad) ...."

                                          Here walad everywhere on these two verses 411-12 is male child not merely a child.. And God has decided based on male child's presence the proportions.. Even in 412 it doesn't state NO CHILD but it literally states of NO MALE child but definitely they have child or children in the form of daughter.. It doesn't mean no children at all..
                                          Any objection?

                                          Parents do get even deceased has a Male child.. Parents Ofcourse get if daughters only..

                                          Logically ponder how come wife gets and parents don't? Is there a justice? Any objection..
