they request from you a ruling. say allah gives you a ruling concerning one having neither descendants nor ascendants . if a man dies leaving no child but a sister she will have half of what he left. and he inherits from her if she has no child. but if there are two sisters they will have twothirds of what he left. if there are both brothers and sisters the male will have the share of two females. allah makes clear to you lest you go astray. and allah is knowing of all things.
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
