people ask you to pronounce a ruling concerning inheritance from those who have left behind no lineal heirs . say allah pronounces for you the ruling should a man die childless but have a sister she shall have one half of what he has left behind and should the sister die childless his brother shall inherit her. and if the heirs are two sisters they shall have twothirds of what he has left behind. and if the heirs are sisters and brothers then the male shall have the share of two females. allah makes clear to you lest you go astray. allah has full knowledge of everything.
يستفتونك قل الله يفتيكم في الكلالة إن امرؤ هلك ليس له ولد وله أخت فلها نصف ما ترك وهو يرثها إن لم يكن لها ولد فإن كانتا اثنتين فلهما الثلثان مما ترك وإن كانوا إخوة رجالا ونساء فللذكر مثل حظ الأنثيين يبين الله لكم أن تضلوا والله بكل شيء عليم
