Qur'anic verses - Case 1:

A man died leaving a wife, five sons and two daughters:
(1) The inheritance is divided into equal shares:
| no. of shares, say
= 8 x (2 x
S
+ D) (where, S = no. of sons; D = no. of daughters) in this case, |
(2) The wife, according to verse (4:12), inherits one eighth of the whole inheritance:
| wife's shares = 1/8 x 96 = 12 |
(3) The remaining inheritance is divided between the children in accordance with verse (4:11), such that the male takes twice the share of a female:
| (remaining = 96 -
12 = 84 shares) each daughter = 84 / (2 x S + D) = 84 / 12 = 7 shares each son = 7 x 2 = 14 shares |
God (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the
male, a portion equal to that of two females.

4:11]
