Verses 1–2 of 2

  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    In what your wives leave, Your share is a half, If they leave no child; But if they leave a child, Ye get a fourth; after payment Of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, Their share is a fourth, If ye leave no child; But if ye leave a child, They get an eighth; after payment Of legacies and debts. If the man or woman Whose inheritance is in question, Has left neither ascendants nor descendants, But has left a brother Or a sister, each one of the two Gets a sixth; but if more Than two, they share in a third; After payment of legacies And debts; so that no loss Is caused (to any one). Thus is it ordained by God; And God is All-knowing, Most Forbearing.

    Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:12
  2. Each word opens its meaning.

    They ask thee For a legal decision. Say: God directs (thus) About those who leave No descendants or ascendants As heirs. If it is a man That dies, leaving a sister But no child, she shall Have half the inheritance: If (such a deceased was) A woman, who left no child, Her brother takes her inheritance: If there are two sisters, They shall have two-thirds Of the inheritance (Between them): if there are Brothers and sisters, (they share), The male having twice The share of the female. Thus doth God make clear To you (His law), lest Ye err. And God Hath knowledge of all things.

    Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:176
