    Read your result

    A table lists each heir with a share of the estate, as an amount and a percentage. Change any box and try again to compare different numbers.

This calculator covers the common Hanafi shares for a spouse, children and parents, including the proportional reduction (awl) and the return of any remainder (radd). It does not handle grandparents, brothers, sisters or other relatives. If the deceased also left two or more brothers or sisters, the mother's share can change — consult a qualified Islamic scholar for complex estates.

Faraid (Islamic Inheritance) Calculator FAQs

Does this cover every family situation?
No — it covers the common primary heirs (spouse, children, parents) under the Hanafi school, including awl (proportional reduction) and radd (return of the remainder). Estates involving grandparents, siblings or other relatives need a qualified Islamic scholar.
Is the calculation exact for my case?
It is a general guide based on standard Faraid rules. Always confirm with a scholar before finalising an actual inheritance distribution.
Why do sons get double the share of daughters?
This follows the fixed Quranic ratio (2:1) for children, based on sons carrying greater financial responsibility for the family under Islamic law.
What happens to debts and funeral costs?
They are settled from the estate before distribution — enter the net estate value (after debts and expenses) for an accurate share calculation.
