Allah commands you as regards your children's (inheritance); to the male, a portion equal to that of two females; if (there are) only daughters, two or more, their share is two thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is half. For parents, a sixth share of inheritance to each if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers or (sisters), the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies he may have bequeathed or debts. You know not which of them, whether your parents or your children, are nearest to you in benefit, (these fixed shares) are ordained by Allah. And Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise.
Mwenyezi Mungu anakuusieni juu ya watoto wenu: Fungu la mwanamume ni kama fungu la wanawake wawili. Na ikiwa wanawake zaidi ya wawili, basi watapata thuluthi mbili za alicho kiacha maiti. Lakini akiwa mtoto mwanamke ni mmoja, basi fungu lake ni nusu. Na wazazi wake wawili, kila mmoja wao apate sudusi ya alicho kiacha, ikiwa anaye mtoto. Akiwa hana mtoto, na wazazi wake wawili wamekuwa ndio warithi wake, basi mama yake atapata thuluthi moja. Na akiwa anao ndugu, basi mama yake atapata sudusi. Haya ni baada ya kutolewa alicho usia au kulipa deni. Baba zenu na watoto wenu, nyinyi hamjui ni nani baina yao aliye karibia zaidi kwenu kwa manufaa. Hiyo ni Sharia iliyo toka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Bila ya shaka Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mjuzi na Mwenye hikima.
