Islamic Inheritance (Faraid) Rules
Islamic inheritance is governed by rules outlined in the Quran (e.g., Surah An-Nisa 4:11-12). Key principles include:
- Fixed Shares (Dhawul Faraid): Predefined shares for specific heirs (e.g., wife: 1/8 with children).
- Residuary Heirs (Asaba): Remaining estate goes to male relatives (e.g., sons).
- Blocking Rules: Some heirs prevent others from inheriting (e.g., children block siblings).
- Awl/Radd: Adjust shares if they exceed or fall short of 1.
