About the Islamic Inheritance Calculator
Islamic inheritance law (Faraid or Mirath) sets out precise shares of a person's estate for their heirs, drawn from the Quran and Sunnah. The arithmetic — fixed shares, residual heirs and the proportional adjustment known as Awl — can be daunting to work out by hand.
This Islamic Inheritance Calculator distributes an estate among the most common heirs — spouse, parents, sons and daughters — showing each share as a fraction, a percentage and an amount. It is an educational and planning aid; a scholar should confirm any real distribution.
How to use the Islamic Inheritance Calculator
- Enter the net estate value (after debts, funeral costs and valid bequests).
- Select the deceased's gender and whether a spouse survives.
- Enter the number of sons and daughters, and whether each parent is alive.
- Calculate to see each heir's share and amount.
Key features of the Islamic Inheritance Calculator
- Applies the fixed Quranic shares (Faraid) for common heirs
- Handles residual (Asaba) distribution to sons and father
- Applies Awl (proportional reduction) when shares exceed the estate
- Shows fractions, percentages and exact amounts
- Private — family and financial details never leave your device
How the Islamic Inheritance Calculator works
These tools are built on established, transparent methods. Prayer times are calculated astronomically from the sun's position for your exact coordinates, using the angle conventions of well-known authorities — the Muslim World League, ISNA, Umm al-Qura (Makkah), the Egyptian General Authority and the University of Karachi — with a choice of Standard or Hanafi Asr. Hijri dates use the widely used tabular (arithmetic) Islamic calendar, and the inheritance calculator applies the fixed Quranic shares (Faraid) with residual (Asaba) distribution and proportional adjustment (Awl).
Everything runs in your browser, so your location and family details stay private.
Tips & best practices
- Settle debts, funeral expenses and any valid bequest (up to one-third) before applying the shares — enter the net estate here.
- A son inherits twice the share of a daughter, and heirs can block or reduce others, which is why expert review matters.
- This tool covers the common cases; estates with grandparents, grandchildren or siblings need a scholar's calculation.
Standards & accuracy
Prayer times use the standard astronomical algorithm with recognised calculation methods (MWL, ISNA, Umm al-Qura, Egypt, Karachi); Hijri dates use the tabular Islamic calendar; inheritance follows the core rules of Faraid.
Prayer times are calculated astronomically and may differ from your local mosque by a few minutes; for Fajr and Isha at high latitudes, methods vary — follow your community. The start of Islamic months depends on the local moon sighting, so Hijri dates may differ by a day from a sighting-based calendar. The inheritance tool covers the most common heirs for education and planning — always confirm a real distribution with a qualified scholar.

Frequently asked questions
It covers the most common heirs: husband or wife, father, mother, sons and daughters — including the residual (Asaba) share for sons and father, and the Awl adjustment. It does not model grandparents, grandchildren, siblings or blocking (Hajb) rules.
Among children who inherit as residuaries, a son receives twice the share of a daughter. This is part of a wider system in which men often carry greater financial responsibilities under Islamic law.
When the fixed shares add up to more than the whole estate (for example, a husband, two daughters and both parents), every share is reduced proportionally so the total equals the estate. The calculator applies this automatically.
Treat it as an educational estimate. Real distributions can involve heirs and rules this tool does not cover, so always confirm with a qualified Islamic scholar or a specialist in Islamic inheritance.
