Frequently asked questions
Does this cover every family situation?
No — it covers the common primary heirs (spouse, children, parents) under the Hanafi school. 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.
