For parents, a sixth share Of the inheritance to each, If the deceased left children; If no children, and the parents Are the (only) heirs, the mother Has a third; if the deceased Left brothers (or sisters) The mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases Is) after the payment Of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether Your parents or your children Are nearest to you In benefit. These are Settled portions ordained By God; and God is All-knowing, All-wise.

Seeing that ye derive Benefit from them, give them Their dowers (at least) As prescribed; but if, After a dower is prescribed, ye agree Mutually (to vary it), There is no blame on you, And God is All-knowing All-wise.
