as for the children god decrees that the share of the male is equivalent to that of two females. if they consist of women only and of them more than two they will get twothirds of the inheritance but in case there is one she will inherit one half. the parents will each inherit a sixth of the estate if it happens the deceased has left a child but if he has left no children and his parents are his heirs then the mother will inherit onethird but if he has left brothers the mother will inherit onesixth after payment of legacies and debts. of parents and children you do not know who are more useful to you. these are the decrees of god who knows all and is wise.
يوصيكم الله في أولادكم للذكر مثل حظ الأنثيين فإن كن نساء فوق اثنتين فلهن ثلثا ما ترك وإن كانت واحدة فلها النصف ولأبويه لكل واحد منهما السدس مما ترك إن كان له ولد فإن لم يكن له ولد وورثه أبواه فلأمه الثلث فإن كان له إخوة فلأمه السدس من بعد وصية يوصي بها أو دين آباؤكم وأبناؤكم لا تدرون أيهم أقرب لكم نفعا فريضة من الله إن الله كان عليما حكيما
