allah thus commands you concerning your children the share of the male is like that of two females. if more than two daughters they shall have twothirds of the inheritance and if there is only one daughter then she shall have half the inheritance. if the deceased has any offspring each of his parents shall have a sixth of the inheritance and if the deceased has no child and his parents alone inherit him then onethird shall go to his mother and if the deceased has brothers and sisters then onesixth shall go to his mother. all these shares are to be given after payment of the bequest he might have made or any debts outstanding against him. you do not know which of them your parents or your children are more beneficial to you. but these portions have been determined by allah for he indeed knows all is cognizant of all beneficent considerations.
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
