☪️ Islamic Inheritance Calculator (Faraid)

Educational estimates for selected spouse, parent, child, grandchild and sibling cases using Hanafi rules.

Read first: This tool estimates selected Hanafi cases; it does not determine who legally owns an asset, validate a will, resolve disputed family facts, or issue a fatwa. Complex combinations are deliberately stopped. Confirm every final distribution with a qualified Mufti and a lawyer familiar with the law that applies to the estate.

Fractions first, verification before distribution

The calculator separates estate deductions, applies supported share rules, labels adjustments, and leaves unsupported residue unassigned. It cannot replace verified family records or specialist judgment.

Did any son or daughter die before the deceased and leave children?

Pregnancy, missing person, homicide, religion/nasab dispute, or uncertain death order?

Does the Wasiyyah benefit an heir, depend on heirs' consent, or have any validity dispute?

Quick answer: This educational calculator estimates selected Hanafi faraid cases using entered heirs, Hajb, ‘Awl and Radd rules. It is not a fatwa, court calculation or substitute for verifying debts, funeral costs, valid bequests, family facts and applicable law.

Worked inheritance example in Urdu

This third-party video demonstrates one simple distribution example involving a wife, one son and two daughters. Its arithmetic is limited to that stated family scenario; it does not cover every possible heir or estate issue.

Source and limitation: Video by Wajid Information System, embedded from YouTube. PDFdukan does not present it as a fatwa or a complete inheritance method. Before distributing an estate, verify ownership, funeral expenses, debts, a valid Wasiyyah, every eligible heir and applicable law with a qualified Mufti and inheritance lawyer.

How the inheritance calculator works

This tool applies the fixed Quranic shares (faraid), then assigns the remaining estate to the residuary (asaba) heirs, and finally adjusts with Aul (when fixed shares exceed the estate) or Radd (when there is a surplus and no residuary). It also applies Hajb — the rules by which nearer heirs block more distant ones (for example, a son blocks grandchildren and siblings; the father blocks siblings and the grandfather).

Known limitations (consult a scholar)

Grandfather with siblings: the applicable Hanafi calculations and school differences need specialist review, so this combination is stopped.
Akdariyya (husband + mother + grandfather + one full sister) and Mushtaraka are special cases not separately modelled.
Remote generations: more distant grandfathers/grandchildren and dhawu al-arham require a scholar.
Pregnancy, missing persons, homicide, religion/nasab disputes and uncertain death order are deliberately stopped rather than estimated.
Pakistan law: a predeceased son/daughter branch requires a separate Section 4 calculation and is deliberately stopped here. The official text uses the wording “per stripes”; obtain professional advice on its application.
Ownership and Wasiyyah: joint ownership, gifts, nominations, disputed debts, and a bequest benefiting an heir or depending on consent are outside this calculator.
