Islamic Inheritance Calculator (Faraid)

No. This Islamic inheritance (faraid) calculator provides an educational estimate for supported Sunni cases. For complex, disputed, or high-stakes estates, consult a qualified Islamic scholar (mufti).

This calculator is built for Sunni inheritance rules for the supported heirs shown on the page. It is not designed for Shia/Jafari inheritance rules.

Basic and Extended modes cover common supported Sunni faraid rules and clearly flag unsupported scenarios. A future Advanced Mode will be explicitly labeled Sunni Hanafi fiqh and released after scholarly verification.

Enter the estate after funeral expenses, debts, and any valid Islamic bequest (wasiyyah). If you’re unsure what should be included, consult a scholar or estate professional before distributing assets.

The core Islamic shares do not change by country. However, legal execution (probate, mutation, documentation) varies widely, so local legal advice may be required to implement the distribution.

Yes for estimation. In India and Pakistan, inheritance transfer often requires legal documentation and mutation procedures. This calculator helps estimate Islamic shares but does not replace legal steps.

Yes for estimation, but civil probate law applies by default. Islamic shares may not be enforced unless you have valid estate planning documents (such as an Islamic will) that comply with local law.

Yes, in supported cases. The spouse share depends on whether the deceased has descendants. If there are multiple wives, the wives’ collective share is split equally among them.

Use Extended Mode only when there is no father and no descendants (children/grandchildren) and you want to include supported sibling cases. If your situation is more complex, the calculator may show a scholar advisory.

Currently, the calculator supports Basic Mode (spouse, parents, sons, daughters) and a limited Extended Mode (certain sibling cases). Grandparents, paternal siblings, nephews/uncles, distant residuaries, and full radd are not fully implemented yet and may trigger an advisory.

Yes. If fixed shares exceed the estate, the calculator applies awl by scaling shares proportionally and shows a warning explaining the adjustment.

Umariyyatain is a scenario where the heirs are only a spouse, mother, and father (and no descendants). In this classical Sunni case, the mother receives one-third of the residue after the spouse’s share, not one-third of the whole estate. The calculator applies this automatically in supported cases.

Radd is redistribution of leftover estate when there is no eligible residuary heir. Full radd is not fully implemented in the current version, which is why you may see “Remaining (Undistributed).” Advanced Mode (Sunni Hanafi) is planned to show radd options after scholarly verification.

This happens when the case includes heirs or rules beyond the calculator’s current supported scope (for example, remote residuaries, full radd, grandparents, or complex blocking rules). In those situations, consult a qualified scholar for complete distribution.

Some simple cases may match, but official or jurisdiction-based tools can use local assumptions or different madhhab rules. Use this calculator for educational estimates and verify final distribution through qualified local guidance if needed.

These situations can require special legal and fiqh review and are not reliably handled by a simple calculator. If your case involves adoption, stepchildren, disputed ownership, or jointly owned assets, consult a qualified scholar and a legal professional.
