Muslim Woman's share

Dear Younus,

Dear Younus

Divide the Total property of Agricultural land and House property in NINE (9) Shares

Out of Total Nine (9) Shares following are the shares of each son and daughter:

First Son ……... 2 Shares

Second Son……..2 Shares

All Five Daughters…….. One (1) share Each

thanks for quick reply.

Eventhough all five daughters are married and well settled (ages around 40-60) i have to share like this?

Dear Younus,

It is sharia Law and mentioned in quran and sunnah:

As per Quran in Surah "An-Nisa"  ( Sura No: 4) Ayath No: 7,   a share is provided to Women also, Please read

لِلرِّجَالِ نَصِیۡبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَکَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَالۡاَقْرَبُوۡنَ ۪ وَلِلنِّسَآءِ نَصِیۡبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَکَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَالۡاَقْرَبُوۡنَ مِمَّا قَلَّ مِنْہُ اَوْکَثُرَ ؕ نَصِیۡبًا مَّفْرُوۡضًا ﴿۷﴾

مردوں کے لئے حصہ ہے اس میں سے جو چھوڑ گئے ماں باپ اور قرابت والے اور عورتوں کے لئے حصہ ہے اس میں سے جو چھوڑ گئے ماں باپ اور قرابت والے ترکہ تھوڑا ہو یا بہت حصہ ہے اندازہ باندھا ہوا (ف۱۷)

Translation in English :

" For men there is share in what their parents and relatives have left behind, and for women there is share in what their parents and relatives have left behind, be the bequest little or be it much, it is a share estimated, determined. "

یُوۡصِیۡکُمُ اللہُ فِیۡۤ اَوْلَادِکُمْ ٭ لِلذَّکَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الۡاُنۡثَیَیۡنِ ۚ فَاِنۡ کُنَّ نِسَآءً فَوْقَ اثْنَتَیۡنِ فَلَہُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَکَ ۚ وَ اِنۡ کَانَتْ وَاحِدَۃً فَلَہَا النِّصْفُ ؕ وَ لِاَبَوَیۡہِ لِکُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْہُمَا السُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَکَ اِنۡ کَانَ لَہٗ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنۡ لَّمْ یَکُنۡ لَّہٗ وَلَدٌ وَّوَرِثَہٗۤ اَبَوٰہُ فَلِاُمِّہِ الثُّلُثُ ۚ فَاِنۡ کَانَ لَہٗۤ اِخْوَۃٌ فَلِاُمِّہِ السُّدُسُ مِنۡۢ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّۃٍ یُّوۡصِیۡ بِہَاۤ اَوْدَیۡنٍ ؕ اٰبَآؤُکُمْ وَاَبۡنَاؤُکُمْ لَا تَدْرُوۡنَ اَیُّہُمْ اَقْرَبُ لَکُمْ نَفْعًا ؕ فَرِیۡضَۃً مِّنَ اللہِ ؕ اِنَّ اللہَ کَانَ عَلِیۡمًا حَکِیۡمًا ﴿۱۱﴾

Allah commands you concerning your children:

(a)  the share of male is equal to the share of two females;

(b)  then if there be daughters only, though more than two, then for them is two third of what is left,

(c)     and if there be only one daughter, for her is one half.

(d)             And for each of the parents of the deceased is one sixth (1/6) of what is left,

(e) if there be a child of the deceased, but if he has no child and leaves parents, then for the mother is one third;

(f) but if there be his many sisters and brothers, then for the mother is one sixth,

(g) after any bequest which has been made and debts.

Your fathers and your sons, you know not which of them will be more profitable to you.

This is fixed proportion from Allah. Undoubtedly Allah is All Knowing, Wise.
