4.12

وَ لَكُمْ نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ اَزْوَاجُكُمْ اِنْ لَّمْ یَكُنْ لَّهُنَّ وَلَدٌۚ-فَاِنْ كَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَلَكُمُ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّةٍ یُّوْصِیْنَ بِهَاۤ اَوْ دَیْنٍؕ-وَ لَهُنَّ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ اِنْ لَّمْ یَكُنْ لَّكُمْ وَلَدٌۚ-فَاِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ وَلَدٌ فَلَهُنَّ الثُّمُنُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّةٍ تُوْصُوْنَ بِهَاۤ اَوْ دَیْنٍؕ-وَ اِنْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ یُّوْرَثُ كَلٰلَةً اَوِ امْرَاَةٌ وَّ لَهٗۤ اَخٌ اَوْ اُخْتٌ فَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُۚ-فَاِنْ كَانُوْۤا اَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ فَهُمْ شُرَكَآءُ فِی الثُّلُثِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّةٍ یُّوْصٰى بِهَاۤ اَوْ دَیْنٍۙ-غَیْرَ مُضَآرٍّۚ-وَصِیَّةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَلِیْمٌﭤ(12)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

You will inherit half of the estate left by your wives if they do not have children. If they have children, then you will receive a fourth of their estate. ˹These shares apply˺ after the will expressed by them (the wives) or ˹the repayment of˺ debt. For your wives, there is a share of one fourth from your inheritance if you do not have children, and if you have children, for them there is a share of one eighth of your inheritance. ˹These shares apply˺ after the will expressed by you or ˹the repayment of˺ debt. And if a man or woman, whose inheritance is to be distributed, has neither left parents nor children and there is only a ˹maternal˺ brother or sister, then for each ˹the share will be˺ a sixth. If there are more than one, all will share a third, ˹both situations apply˺ after the will of the deceased or ˹the repayment of˺ debt in the will which does not cause loss ˹for the heirs˺. This is a command from Allah[1] —and Allah is All-Knowing, Most-Forbearing.

Commentary

[1]

The will of the deceased shall be fulfilled from a third of his wealth and anything more shall be dependent upon the permission of inheritors; if they wish, they can give a greater amount from their shares.
