  • Residuaries (Asaba): Heirs like the Father or Sons who take the remaining portion after fixed shares.
What is Faraid?

Faraid is the science of Islamic inheritance distribution. It is derived from the Holy Quran and Hadith, ensuring a just and divinely ordained division of wealth among relatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I give more to someone in my will?

In Islam, a will (Wasiyyah) can only be made for those who are NOT already legal heirs. Furthermore, the total amount of all wills combined cannot exceed one-third (1/3) of the net estate.

Does this handle all heirs?

This tool handles the primary heirs (Parents, Spouses, Children). For complex cases involving grandparents, siblings, or distant relatives, please consult a specialized Faraid scholar.
