allah enjoins you concerning your children for the male shall be the like of the share of two females and if there be more than two females then for them shall be twothirds of what he leaves but if she be alone then for her shall be a half and for each of his parents a sixth of what he leaves if he has children but if he has no children and his parents are his heirs then it shall be a third for his mother but if he has brothers then a sixth for his mother after any bequest he may have made or any debt . your parents and your children—you do not know which of them is likelier to be beneficial for you. this is an ordinance from allah. indeed allah is allknowing allwise.
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
