What is Islamic Inheritance (Faraid)?

Faraid (فرائض) is the Islamic law of inheritance, derived from the Quran (Surah An-Nisa, 4:11-12) and the Sunnah. It specifies fixed shares (fractions) of the estate that must go to each eligible heir. This calculator follows the Hanafi school of jurisprudence, which is the predominant school in Turkey and much of the Muslim world.

Key Islamic Inheritance Concepts

• Fixed-share heirs (Ashab al-Furud): Heirs whose share is fixed in the Quran, such as the spouse, mother, and daughters.
• Asabah (Residual heirs): Heirs who receive the remainder of the estate after fixed shares are distributed. Sons are the primary Asabah heirs.
• Awliyya (Proportional reduction): Applied when fixed shares together exceed 100% of the estate — all shares are reduced proportionally.
• Radd (Return): When no Asabah is present and fixed shares are less than 100%, the surplus is returned to the eligible heirs proportionally (excluding the spouse).
