My father wants to know how will his estate be...

Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

my father wants to know how will his estate be divided amongst his wife, one son and two daughters after his death. can you please clarify how much each person will recieve! for example if my fathers assets are valued at 500 million how much will each person recieve according the islamic law. thanks

Answer:

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Brother please pardon us, we made an error in calculating the distribution amounts. The correct one is as follows:- If your father leaves 500 million after all debts are paid then his wealth according to Islamic Shariah laws will be distributed amongst his living heirs as follows:- Wife will receive 1/8th. that is 62,500,000/- Son will receive 218,750,000/- Daughter 1 will receive 109,375,000/- Daughter 2 will receive 109,375,000/- _____________ Total 500,000,000/-

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
