Understand the divine mathematical wisdom of Islamic estate distribution according to the prescribed shares in Surah An-Nisa (4:11-12, 176).
The science of inheritance (Ilm al-Fara'id) is one of the most meticulously detailed subjects in the Holy Quran. Muslim 360 helps users visualize how estate shares are partitioned among spouses, parents, children, and residuary heirs.

Receives 1/2 if deceased has no children; receives 1/4 if deceased left children.
Receives 1/4 if deceased has no children; receives 1/8 if deceased left children (shared equally if multiple wives).
Receives 1/6 as fixed share if son exists, plus residuary ('Asabah) rights under conditions.
Receives 1/6 if children or multiple siblings exist; otherwise receives 1/3 of the estate.
Take remaining balance as primary residuary ('Asabah); a son receives double the share of a daughter.
If single with no son: 1/2. If two or more with no son: 2/3 shared equally. With a son: residuary at 2:1 ratio.
