Islamic Inheritance Calculator (Farāʾiḍ)

Non-Muslim relatives and adopted children are not eligible for Islamic inheritance, and only relatives from legitimate (recognized) lineage receive a share. Provision for anyone outside these shares can still be made through a waṣiyyah (bequest) of up to one-third of the estate. Learn who counts as an heir →

Try an example:

Who passed away?

Man Woman

Spouse & parents surviving

Wife Father Mother

Children

Sons Daughters

Grandchildren (only if their parent — your son — has already passed)

Son's sons Son's daughters

Grandparents surviving (only if the parent between them has passed)

Paternal grandfather (father's father) Paternal grandmother (father's mother) Maternal grandmother (mother's mother)

Siblings (only relevant if no children/grandchildren and no father)

Full brothers Full sisters Paternal half-brothers Paternal half-sisters Maternal half-brothers Maternal half-sisters

Uncles (only relevant if no closer heirs above)

Full paternal uncles

Other relatives (not yet supported below)

These relatives (called dhawul arḥām) only inherit when none of the heirs above exist. This calculator flags when they may be relevant, but does not yet compute their shares — an attorney or scholar should be consulted in these cases.
