For example, if a man dies childless and his property at the time of his death after the payment of debts and will (if any) is $10,000.00 , and his mother, father, one wife, one brother and one sister are alive; the distribution according to Shariah would be as follows:
The wife of the deceased will receive 1/4th or $2,500.00.
The mother f the deceased will receive 1/6th or $1,666.66
And the balance $5,833.34 will all go to the father of the deceased
But in the case a man dies childless and his property at the time of his death after the payment of debts and will (if any) is $10,000.00; and his surviving relatives are his mother, his wife, one brother and one sister, the distribution according to Shariah will be as follows:
The wife of the deceased will receive 1/4th or $2,500.00
The mother of the deceased will receive 1/3rd or $3333.33
The balance $4,166.67 will be divided into three parts, and the brother of the deceased will receive twice the share of the sister. Thus the sister of the deceased will receive $1,388.89 and the brother $2,777.78.
The distribution and ratio of inheritance in Islam will vary according to who exactly amongst the legal heirs survive the deceased. Thus if you could clarify who are the exact survivors of the deceased, we could give you the ratios of each as prescribed by Shariah, Insha Allah.
