Faraid Share Calculator — Simplified Islamic Inheritance Split
Select which heirs survive, and see each one's Qur'anic (fard) share plus the residue split — instantly, privately, with an honest 'consult a scholar' note for real cases.
Quick answer: Estimate Qur'anic inheritance shares for common family configurations (spouse, sons, daughters, parents) with the simplified Faraid rules — computed instantly in your browser, clearly labeled as a starting point, not a fatwa.
Simplified core rules for learning — debts & wasiyyah settle first; confirm real estates with a scholar.
How to use
- Tick the surviving heirs and enter counts (sons, daughters).
- The calculator splits the estate into shares and shows each heir's percentage with the rule used.
- For an actual estate, take the breakdown to a qualified scholar — the tool prints which rules it applied, making that conversation faster.

About this tool
Faraid fixes specific shares: a husband takes 1/2 (no children) or 1/4 (with children); a wife 1/4 or 1/8; the mother 1/6 when there are children (else 1/3 of what remains in some cases); the father 1/6 plus residue when there are children; daughters without sons take 1/2 (one) or 2/3 (two or more), and sons turn the children's portion into residue with a 2:1 male-to-female split. This tool implements those core rules for the most common configurations and shows the maths transparently. Real estates involve siblings, debts, wills (wasiyyah up to 1/3) and school differences — so it is deliberately labeled a learning aid: confirm every real distribution with a qualified scholar or Sharia court.
