What is Islamic inheritance law (Faraid)?
Faraid is the Islamic law of inheritance based on the Quran and Hadith. It provides specific rules for distributing wealth among heirs, ensuring fair and just distribution according to Sharia law.
What are fixed shares in Islamic inheritance?
Fixed shares are predetermined portions given to specific heirs: 1/2 for husband (when no children), 1/4 for husband (when children exist), 1/8 for wife (when children exist), 1/4 for wife (when no children), 1/6 for father (when children exist), 1/3 for mother (when no children), 1/6 for mother (when children exist), 1/2 for daughter (when alone and no sons), 2/3 for daughters (when multiple and no sons).
What is Asobah in Islamic inheritance?
Asobah refers to residual heirs who receive the remaining assets after fixed shares are distributed. Male heirs typically receive twice the share of female heirs in Asobah distribution.
What does Mahjub mean?
Mahjub means "excluded" or "blocked" heirs who do not inherit due to the presence of closer relatives. For example, grandfathers are excluded when fathers are present, and brothers are excluded when sons exist.
Can I make a will for more than 1/3 of my assets?
No, according to Islamic law, you cannot bequeath more than 1/3 of your total assets through a will. The remaining 2/3 must be distributed according to Faraid rules.
How are debts and funeral expenses handled?
Debts and funeral expenses are deducted from the total assets before inheritance distribution. Only the remaining amount (Al Irts) is distributed among heirs according to Islamic law.
