English Translation
11Concerning your children's shares of inheritance, Allah advises you as follows: the share of a male is equal to the share of two daughters. If the heirs are only daughters and they are more than two, they receive two-thirds of the inheritance. If there is only one daughter, half is hers. As for the parents: if the deceased has a child, each of them receives one-sixth; if the deceased has no child and the only heirs are the mother and father, one-third goes to the mother. If the deceased also has siblings, one-sixth goes to the mother. All this division comes after the deceased's bequest has been carried out and any debt has been paid. You do not know which of your fathers and your sons is nearer to you in benefit. These are shares determined by Allah. Surely Allah knows all things and decides rightly in the rulings He lays down.
