Inheritance according to Qur?an

herbman

Salam, Peace, Nun, Huruf, all,

just a question that come to me, I don't know if you already looked at it or maybe discussed it before

In the verses regarding inheritence, in the scenario where the husband die, and leave behind wife and children, the usual scenario is having one wife and children. Do we have any case where verses speak about 2, 3, 4 wives, is it 1/8 each etc...
Does the verse say 3-"To the wife...1/8" or "To wives ...1/8"

This can help to conclude if "polygamy" was the default or not.

Thanks

Peace herbman,

It cannot be confirmed since verses addresses the community as a whole (plural).

412
and for you (masculine plural) half what left your spouses
and for them (feminine plural) the fourth from what you left (plural)

Having multiple wives is clear since prohibition of marrying sisters is stated.

423
prohibited onto you ...
and that you gathered between the two sisters only what hence passed

This is basic logic...

IF marrying multiple sisters = FALSE
THEN marrying non-sisters = TRUE

Distribution same any like category inheritors (e.g. sons) they all share evenly.

2 wives, 2 sons

1 - 1/8 wives (1/16 each) = 7/8 sons (7/16 each)

Noon_waalqalami

Peace herbman,

Notice the switch " to them" with " to you" otherwise the math would not work.
Example 4 wives, no child, each wife would get 1/4, leaves nothing for the parents.

412
and to you half what left your spouses if not was to them waladun/offspring/child
so if kana/is (masculine) to them walad (if to deceased/wife a male child/born) so to you the fourth

and to them the fourth from what you left if not was to you waladun/offspring/child
so if kana/is (masculine) to you walad (if to deceased/husband a male child/born) so to them (feminine plural) the eight

Few more examples...

wife-1 (son)
wife-2 (son)
wife-3 (no child)
wife-4 (no child)
if son = true
if no child = false
wives share = 1/8 fixed
parent share = 1/6 fixed
1 - 1/3 parents - 1/8 wives = 13/24 sons

wife-1 (daughter)
wife-2 (no child)
wife-3 (no child)
wife-4 (no child)
if son = false
if no child = false
wives share = variable
1 - 1/2 daughter = 1/2 wives (1/8 each)

wife-1 (son)
wife-2 (daughter)
wife-3 (no child)
wife-4 (no child)
if son = true
if no child = false
wives share = 1/8 fixed
1 - 1/8 wives = 7/8 children (7/24 daughter + 7/12 son) 21 ratio male to female

Thanks a lot Noon.

It is very helpfull and instructive.

Incomplete, erroneous translation e.g. kalala, walad, etc., nor does it cover all combinations or give distributions.

Perhaps as an exercise distribute parents die leave property jointly owned.
3 children heirs; 2 sisters and 1 half-brother from father's first marriage

CASE 2 mother dies then later that same day the father

CASE 1 father dies then later that same day the mother
CASE 2 mother dies then later that same day the father

Peace, here are distributions for reference.

CASE 1 fathers? half property
1/8 wife
7/8 children (7/32 each daughter + 7/16 half-brother from fathers first marriage)
Then mothers 1/2 property + 1/8 to daughters (half-brother zero, not his mother)

CASE 2 mothers? half property
1/4 husband
3/4 daughters (half-brother zero, not his mother)
Then fathers 1/2 property + 1/4 to 3 children (3/16 each daughter and 3/8 to son)

CASE 3 parents perish simultaneously as in an accident
? mother?s half property to daughters (half-brother zero, not his mother)
? father?s half property to 3 children (1/8 to each daughter and 1/4 to son)

Wanted to link threads; two ways to resolved the contradictions

using 1, 2, or 3+ female to male ratios for children and siblings
toggle meaning of walad as exampled in this thread and below

Peace NielsJacob

It has to do with definition of walad and we know from 411 that either sex is included.
411 directs you the god in awldikum/children yours

Likewise with cross-reference we know yakun can refer to either sex.
2196 ... to whom not yakun/that be family his present

Likewise with cross-reference we know that ? family his? includes females
2932 and family his except lady his be she (f/s) from the remain behind

Whereas kana/be he (m/s) always refers to masculine

Example Case 3 daughters, husband

411 so if kunna/be they (f/p) nisan/womenfolk above two (f)
so for them (f/p) third dual (1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3)

412 and for you half what left spouses yours
if not yakun/that be for them walad (if no child 1/2)
so if kana/be (m/s) for them walad so for you the fourth

Therefore husband share is left variable/undefined this particular case and gets 1/3 remainder.
1/2 if no child = false
1/4 if son = false

That?s only non-contradicting reading far as I know for all combinations without surplus/deficit.

Contradiction excess 2/3 + 1/4 = 0.9167
1/2 if no child = false
1/4 if child = true

Contradiction deficit 2/3 + 1/2 = 1.1667
1/2 if no son = true
1/4 if son = false

4176 ... shows the god for you lest stray yeh and the god in every thing knower

Noon_waalqalami

Peace ? needed to update definition of Kalala as also a person who leaves no daughters as heirs else there is a contradiction in 412 and key difference whether to apply 412 presence of son or 4176 no son.

Thus siblings only inherit together with mother and/or son/s and never with daughter/s, spouse, or father.

411 directs you the god in children yours to the male similitude apportion the two (feminine) so if be/are (f/p) nisan/womenfolk fawqa/above two (feminine) so for them (f/p) third dual (1/3*2=2/3) what left and if be she (f/s) one (f/s) so for her the half and to parents dual his to each one from them dual the sixth from what left if be (s/m) for him waladun/born (son) so if not that be for him waladun/born (child) and heirs parents dual his so to mother his the third so if be (s/m) for him ikh'watun/brother so to mother his the sixth from after will have made in it or judgment fathers yours and sons yours not thou knowing which of them closer to you benefit of obligation from the god surely the god be knowledge of wisdom of

412 and for you half what left spouses yours if not that be for them waladun/born (child) so if be (m/s) for them waladun/born (son) so for you the fourth from what left they from after will made they in it or judgment and for them the fourth from what left thou you if not that be for you waladun/born (child) so if be (s/m) for you waladun/born (son) so to them the eight from what left thou you from after will thou making in it or judgment and if be (m/s) rajulun/man inherited kallatan/fatherless spouse-less daughter-less (i.e. mother, son/s, and/or siblings are only heirs) or im'ra-atun/lady and to him brother or sister so to each one from them dual the sixth so if be they of (2+) more from such so they partners in the third from after will is recommended in it or judgment other than harmful will from the god and the god know-er forbear-er

4176 they seek ruling your say the god gives a ruling you in al-kallati/the fatherless spouse-less daughter-less (i.e. mother, son/s, and/or siblings are only heirs) if person perished not for him waladun/born (son) and for him sister so for her half what left and he inherits it if not that be for her waladun/born (son) so if be dual (f/d) two (f/d) so to them dual (f/d) the third dual (1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3) from what left and if be they of (2+) ikh'watan/siblings rijlan/menfolk of wanisan/and womenfolk so to the male similitude apportion the two (feminine) shows the god for you lest stray yeh of and the god in every thing know-er

Peace,

This has been puzzling me for a long time ? where is distribution for exactly two daughters?

411
so if kunna/be (f/p) nisan/womenfolk fawqa/above ith'natayni/two
so for them (f/p) third dual (1/3*2=2/3) what left
and if knat/be she (f/s) widatan/one (f/s) so for her the half

Lane, An Arabic English Lexicon
? thus one says, (Mgh, Msb) i. e. Ten is above nine; meaning ten exceeds nine
... also, in the Kur iii. 12], (Mgh, Msb) exceeding two

Likewise puzzling, where is distribution for 3+ sisters?

4176
so if knat/be (f/d) ith'natayni/two
so to them dual the third each from what left

The answer I believe has been there the whole time 4176 which is not two sisters.
Read closely the part right after if no child which then gives case for two daughters!

4176
they seek ruling your say the god gives a ruling you in al-kallati/the fatherless spouseless
if im'ru-on/person perished not for him waladun/born (child)
and for him sister so for her half what left
and he inherits it if not that be for her waladun/born (child)

so if knat/be (f/d) ith'natayni/two (daughters!)
so to them dual the third each from what left

and if be they of ikh'watan/siblings rijlan/menfolk of wanisan/and womenfolk
so to the male similitude share the two (feminine)

Kalala case - fatherless spouseless, no child
1 sister 1/2, mother 1/2
2+ sisters, mother (share equally)

1+ brothers 5/6, mother 1/6 (411)

If siblings mixed 21 male to female (4176)
1/6 mother (411), 5/6 siblings mixed 21 ratio

Kalala case - fatherless spouseless, no son
3+ daughters 2/3 (411), sibling/s 1/3 (If siblings mixed 21 male to female 4176)
2 daughters 2/3 (4176), sibling/s 1/3
1 daughter 1/2 (411), sibling/s 1/2

3+ daughters 2/3 (411), (sister/s, mother) 1/3 share equally
2 daughters 2/3 (4176), (sister/s, mother) 1/3 share equally
1 daughter 1/2 (411), (sister/s, mother) 1/2 share equally

3+ daughters 2/3 (411), mother 1/6, brother/s 1/6
2 daughters 2/3 (4176), mother 1/6, brother/s 1/6
1 daughter 1/2 (411), mother 1/6, brother/s 1/3

3+ daughters 2/3 (411), mother 1/6, siblings mixed 1/6 (21 male to female 4176)
2 daughters 2/3 (4176), mother 1/6, siblings mixed 1/6
1 daughter 1/2 (411), mother 1/6, siblings mixed 1/3

412
and if be rajulun/man inherited kallatan (fatherless spouseless) or im'ra-atun/lady
and to him brother or sister so to each one from them dual the sixth
so if kn/be they of more from such so they partners in the third

Kalala case - fatherless spouseless, has son
1/6 sister/brother, 5/6 son/s or children mixed (21 male to female 411)
1/3 siblings, 2/3 son/s or children mixed

It needs to be resolved in 412 language to distinguish presence of son else contradicts if only daughters?

Peace everyone,

Final notes to explain logic especially Kalala (fatherless spouseless daughterless).

Cannot say Kalala is fatherless spouseless with son then say in 4176 if no child.
That would be contradictory, like defining Kalala fatherless then say if no parent!

4176 siblings mixed no child (21 male to female) and father ? unsolvable! Father cannot inherit with siblings.
412 wife 1/4 no child, 1/2 sister (4176 no child) ? 1/4 too much! Spouse cannot inherit with siblings.
411 daughter 1/2, sibling 1/6 (412) ? 1/3 too much! Daughters cannot inherit with siblings.

To be honest, I saw this comment coming from a mile away.

Never said they were gods, but they know the deen better than us. You guys like to play the mantra of "Qur'an only", right? How about when Allah says, "Ask the people of knowledge if you do not know".

When you follow a madhab, you are following a group of scholars. Its the safe road. And honeslty speaking, the question of madhabs does not even really come up when talking about inheritance, as there is very little ikhtilaaf in inheritance laws. All scholars agree on almost every ruling when it comes to inheritance.

Entire volumes have been written on this topic by the `ulamaa in great detail, masha'Allah. And here you are, 27 pages, still as confused as ever.

Make your life easy, and take the deen from people who know more than you. If you try to figure out every ruling for yourself, you'll end up with a headache, and still have no understanding of the issue.

The site will explain the concept of `awl and Radd. Only when these two concepts are understood will theconfusion subside, at least a little.

SubhaanAllah, 27 pages of confusion. As with any topic, in-depth discussion requires that you know the topic being discussed.

No need for such discussion when the `ulamaa' have already explained everything.

Peace -- the site is full of errors and contradictions which were parroted from long ago.

The site will explain the concept of `awl and Radd. Only when these two concepts are understood will theconfusion subside, at least a little.

Using al-awl or algebra to normalize or increase/decrease evenly all shares to new values that are never mentioned in Qur'an can be used to wrongly "fix" surplus/shortfall any combinations.

Case which supposedly occurred during caliphate of Umar ibn Khattab.
A woman left husband, mother, 2 uterine brothers & 2 full brothers.

Umar initially gave 1/2 husband + 1/6 mother + 1/3 two uterine brothers which left nothing to the two full brothers.

The two full brothers argued that even if their father was a donkey or a stone cast into the sea and they had no paternal relationship, they still had the same and equal relationship with the deceased as the uterine brothers through the same mother.

Umar reconsidered allowed the two full brothers to inherit equally with uterine brothers the 1/3.

Please ask ulamaa' explain husband, mother, 2 uterine sisters, 2 full sisters & 2 full brothers?

Please state which verses you are using for all cases above and where Qur'an differentiates full and uterine siblings?
