Islamic Inheritance Calculator — Sunni (Basic)

Enter the estate value and surviving heirs. This tool calculates common Sunni fixed shares (spouse, parents, daughters/sons) and distributes the residue among residuaries (sons/daughters). For complex families consult a qualified scholar.

Note: This calculator implements basic Sunni rules: (i) spouse shares (husband 1/2 or 1/4; wives collectively 1/4 or 1/8), (ii) parents (each 1/6 when deceased leaves children; mother 1/3 in some cases when no children), (iii) daughters and sons share residue with sons receiving twice a daughter. It does not cover every fiqh variation (grandchildren by representation, uterine/paternal siblings, multiple residuary categories). Use as educational guidance only.

Disclaimer: This is a simplified educational tool. For binding division of estates consult a qualified Islamic scholar (mufti) or probate lawyer. © Lets-Legislate
