Sura 4 An-Nisa (The Women), ayah 176

  1. يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ ۚ إِنِ امْرُؤٌ هَلَكَ لَيْسَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَهُ أُخْتٌ فَلَهَا نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ ۚ وَهُوَ يَرِثُهَا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا وَلَدٌ ۚ فَإِنْ كَانَتَا اثْنَتَيْنِ فَلَهُمَا الثُّلُثَانِ مِمَّا تَرَكَ ۚ وَإِنْ كَانُوا إِخْوَةً رِجَالًا وَنِسَاءً فَلِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنْثَيَيْنِ ۗ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَضِلُّوا ۗ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

    gives you a ruling
    فِى
    concerning
    ٱلْكَلَٰلَةِ

    لَهُۥ
    he has
    وَلَدٌ
    a child
    وَلَهُۥٓ
    and he has
    أُخْتٌ
    a sister,
    فَلَهَا
    then for her
    نِصْفُ
    (is) a half
    مَا
    (of) what
    تَرَكَ
    he left.
    وَهُوَ

    (is) All-Knower.

    They request from you a (legal) ruling. Say, "Allah gives you a ruling concerning one having neither descendants nor ascendants (as heirs)." If a man dies, leaving no child but (only) a sister, she will have half of what he left. And he inherits from her if she (dies and) has no child. But if there are two sisters (or more), they will have two-thirds of what he left. If there are both brothers and sisters, the male will have the share of two females. Allah makes clear to you (His law), lest you go astray. And Allah is Knowing of all things.
