Islamic Inheritance Calculator (Faraid)

Faraid refers to the Islamic inheritance rules that assign specific shares to certain heirs (for example spouses, parents, and children). These shares are primarily derived from Qur’anic guidance and the broader fiqh framework scholars apply to real cases.

This calculator helps you estimate inheritance distribution by:

• Applying supported Sunni rules for the heirs you enter
• Showing the share as a fraction (e.g., 1/6), percentage, and amount
• Warning you when a case likely requires additional rules not fully implemented in this public version

Yes. This is a free Faraid calculator that produces an educational estimate for supported Sunni cases. You can also use the built-in tools to:

• Copy Link (to share or revisit the same inputs)
• Download Result Image (easy sharing in WhatsApp/email)
• Save as PDF / Print (for records or scholar review)

Yes. When you enter the Total estate value, the calculator converts each heir’s share into an exact amount. It also shows the share as a fraction and percentage so you can understand both the fiqh-style share and the practical amount.

If multiple heirs share a collective portion (for example, multiple wives or multiple daughters in a fixed-share scenario), the calculator also displays an “each receives ~ …” note where applicable.

Enter the distributable estate amount—meaning what remains after you account for:

• Funeral expenses (as applicable)
• Confirmed debts
• Any valid Islamic bequest (wasiyyah) you already accounted for

If you are unsure about debts, jointly owned property, disputed assets, or whether a bequest is valid/within limits, treat your output as preliminary and get verification.

Many users search for a Hanafi inheritance calculator. The public version currently focuses on supported Sunni inheritance rules for common scenarios and transparently flags unsupported cases.

A more complete Advanced Mode (Sunni Hanafi) is under scholarly review to support additional heirs and rules (e.g., grandparents, Hanafi ‘asabah chain, and radd) and reduce “Remaining (Undistributed)” outcomes. Until it’s verified and released, some Hanafi-style edge cases may show Scholar Advisory.

Not in the current public version. Shia inheritance rules can differ from Sunni approaches in important ways. If you specifically need a Shia inheritance calculator, do not rely on a Sunni estimator for a final answer.

You can still use this page for general learning (fractions, amounts, and process), but for actual Shia distribution, consult a qualified scholar and use Shia-specific references.

“Scholar Advisory” means your case likely involves rules or heirs beyond what this public calculator fully supports today. The calculator shows what it can compute, but flags the outcome to avoid false certainty.

Common reasons include:

• A remainder that requires radd (redistribution) or remote residuaries
• Heirs not supported in this version (e.g., grandparents or deeper ‘asabah chain)
• Complex blocking/priority situations that need scholar-level review

“Remaining (Undistributed)” is the portion of the estate that the current public version does not assign after applying supported shares. In full fiqh practice, this remainder may be handled through additional residuaries and/or radd, depending on the case.

When you see a remainder, it’s a strong signal to verify the full case with a qualified scholar—especially if there are extended heirs, multiple family branches, disputed assets, or missing information.

Awl happens when the sum of fixed shares exceeds the estate (more than 100%). In that situation, the shares are scaled down proportionally so the total becomes exactly 100%.

This calculator labels such results as Adjusted (Awl) and adds a warning so you understand why the final percentages differ.

In the Umariyyatain scenario (commonly: spouse + mother + father, with no descendants), the mother receives one-third of the residue after the spouse share (not one-third of the entire estate).

This calculator applies Umariyyatain automatically in supported cases and will reflect it in the steps/assumptions.

People often search for a “father property distribution in Islam calculator” when the deceased is the father and heirs include spouse and children. In supported cases, the calculator applies:

• Spouse fixed share (wife/wives), depending on whether descendants exist
• Mother/father shares if parents are alive
• Children distribution of the residue using the 2:1 male-to-female ratio when sons exist

Real estates can be complicated by debts, jointly owned property, missing heirs, or local probate steps—so verify before acting.

A daughter’s share depends on what other heirs exist. In supported Sunni cases:

• No sons + one daughter: the daughter may receive a fixed share of 1/2.
• No sons + two or more daughters: daughters may collectively receive 2/3.
• Sons exist: children share the residue using a 2:1 male-to-female ratio.

The calculator shows the share as a fraction, percentage, and amount. If multiple daughters share a collective portion, it will show an “each receives ~ …” estimate where relevant.

Sibling inheritance depends on the type of siblings and whether the deceased has a father or descendants (who may block siblings). It is not correct to assume “brother and sister always 2:1” in every sibling scenario.

In this calculator:

• Basic Mode: sibling inputs are ignored (and the calculator warns you if siblings were entered).
• Extended Mode: supports limited clean sibling cases (generally no father and no descendants).
• Maternal siblings: in supported clean cases, they share equally (no 2:1 ratio).

If you see residue or advisory notes, treat the result as educational and seek scholar verification.

In supported Sunni cases, spouse shares depend on whether descendants exist:

• Wife/wives: typically 1/8 if descendants exist, otherwise 1/4.
• Husband: typically 1/4 if descendants exist, otherwise 1/2.

Note: these are general spouse shares for supported cases. The remainder may go to parents, children, or other heirs depending on your inputs.

Basic Mode is for the most common heir set: spouse, parents, sons, daughters. It keeps the model simpler to reduce incorrect outputs in complicated estates.

Extended Mode adds limited sibling rules intended for clean sibling cases (generally no father and no descendants). If your case doesn’t match this clean structure, the calculator may show warnings or a scholar advisory.

Because Basic Mode is intentionally limited to spouse/parents/children. Sibling rules quickly become complex due to blocking rules and residuary priorities. If siblings are relevant to your case, switch to Extended Mode for supported clean sibling scenarios.

If you still receive “Scholar Advisory” in Extended Mode, that’s a sign the case likely requires rules beyond this public version.

Some shares are shown as a collective portion for a group (for example, multiple wives, or multiple daughters in a fixed-share scenario). The calculator divides that collective amount equally among the count you entered and displays an approximate per-person value.

The “each receives ~ …” line is a convenience for readability; the legal/fiqh share is still represented by the fraction and percentage.

Kalkulator faraid is a Malay/Indonesian phrasing meaning “Faraid calculator.” People searching this term typically want a quick estimate of inheritance shares with clear amounts and explanations.

This tool provides an educational estimate and clearly flags when a case needs scholar review.

MUIS-related calculators are often searched by name for Singapore context. This calculator is not affiliated with MUIS.

You can still use this tool to understand shares and amounts, but for official procedures and jurisdiction-specific guidance, consult official sources and a qualified advisor.

Many users search for an Islamic inheritance calculator Excel file, a download, or an app because they want offline record-keeping or easier sharing.

This page currently provides practical alternatives:

• Download Result Image (share quickly with family or a scholar)
• Save as PDF / Print (archive the result)
• Copy Link (reopen the same inputs later)

If you copy the results table into Excel for archiving, keep the warnings/assumptions with it so the context isn’t lost.

1. Confirm heirs entered match the real case (spouse, parents, children; siblings only when relevant and in Extended Mode).
2. Check status: Calculated, Adjusted (Awl), or Scholar Advisory.
3. Check totals: Distributed + Residue should match the estate.
4. Check residue logic: if children share residue, amounts should reflect the 2:1 ratio where applicable.

If anything is unclear, use “Download Result Image” and share it with a scholar for review.

No. This is an educational estimator. Final inheritance distribution should be verified by a qualified Islamic scholar (mufti). Also consider local probate/estate requirements in your country.
