يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ — An-Nisa 4:11
Islamic Inheritance calculator
Select your Islamic school of thought from the dropdown menu—Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, or Shia (Jafari). This ensures the Faraid calculator follows the correct inheritance rules for your jurisprudence. The tool automatically adjusts all shares based on your selection.
Type the amount of money or assets left behind in Pakistani Rupees (PKR). You can use any currency—just enter the number. Below that, add any deductions like funeral expenses, unpaid debts, or will (Wasiyyah) up to one-third of the estate. The net estate updates automatically.
Go through the list of heirs and check who survives the deceased. Use the plus/minus buttons to add multiple sons, daughters, wives, or siblings. As you select heirs, a simple family tree appears showing relationships. The tool automatically applies Hajb (blocking) rules—for example, if you select both a son and grandson, it warns you that the son blocks the grandson from inheritance.
Press the Calculate button to see each heir's share. The tool displays:
- Each person's portion in PKR
- Percentage of total estate
- Fixed share or residual share (Asaba) type
- Quranic verse reference (Surah Nisa) for every share
If shares exceed the total estate (Awl) or leave surplus (Radd), the tool handles both automatically with clear explanations.
Scroll through the detailed results. Hover over any heir to see why they receive that specific share based on Quranic verses. Check the bottom line confirming total distribution equals 100%. If something looks incorrect, go back and adjust your inputs. The Faraid calculator recalculates instantly.

⚠️ Important Note
This tool provides accurate calculations based on classical Islamic inheritance rules and Quranic verses from Surah Nisa. However, actual estate distribution may involve local laws, court decisions, or specific family circumstances. Always consult a qualified Islamic scholar or mufti for final verification before distributing any inheritance. This Faraid calculator is a planning aid, not a substitute for expert religious or legal advice.
Islamic inheritance rules (Faraid) vary slightly between different schools of jurisprudence. Our calculator respects these differences. You can choose from Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, or Shia (Jafari) schools from a simple dropdown menu. The tool automatically adjusts every share calculation based on your selected school. So a Hanafi family gets Hanafi shares, and a Shia family gets Jafari shares—all from the same tool. No other free Faraid calculator online offers this flexibility for Muslim families worldwide.
Inheritance situations often involve complicated scenarios. For example, what happens when fixed shares exceed the total estate (Awl) or when surplus remains (Radd)? Our tool handles both situations automatically with clear explanations. It also applies Hajb (blocking) rules correctly—for instance, a son blocks a grandson, and a father blocks a brother from inheritance. You don't need to memorize these Islamic inheritance rules. Simply add your heirs, and the calculator does the rest with accuracy.
Every share displayed comes with its verse reference from Surah Nisa. When the tool shows a wife receiving 1/8, you'll see the Quranic verse (4:12) right there. When daughters receive 2/3, you'll see (4:11) alongside. This way you can see Allah's commands applied directly to your family's inheritance distribution. Hover over any heir to see a brief explanation of the ruling based on Quran and Sunnah.
Selecting heirs is simple with checkboxes and plus/minus buttons for multiples. As you add family members, a small visual tree appears showing relationships at a glance. The tool also includes smart warnings. If you accidentally select a grandson while his father (your son) is still alive, a red warning appears explaining that the son blocks the grandson from inheritance under Hajb rules. This helps prevent errors before they happen.
After calculation, click one button to generate a beautiful PDF certificate. This document includes the estate value, each heir's name with their exact share in PKR, percentages, Quranic references from Surah Nisa, and the school of thought used. Share it directly on WhatsApp with family members so everyone understands their Islamic inheritance rights. Keep it for estate planning or family records.

Calculations happen locally with no internet needed after the first visit. Built for 2026 with a clean, mobile-friendly interface. Just open the Faraid calculator, enter your details, and share.

No, daughters don't automatically get everything. When there are two or more daughters and no son, they collectively get two-thirds (2/3) of the estate, divided equally among them. If only one daughter exists, she gets one-half (1/2). The remaining portion goes to other heirs like father, mother, or distant relatives. In some cases with the Radd rule, surplus returns to daughters, but this depends on who else survives. The Faraid calculator handles all these situations automatically based on your selected school of thought.
Yes, a woman can receive Islamic inheritance from both sides. As a wife, she gets her husband's share—either 1/4 if no children exist, or 1/8 if children exist. As a daughter, she gets her father's share according to Faraid rules. There's no limit on how many inheritances a person can receive. Each estate is calculated separately based on the deceased person's assets and heirs. You would need to run separate calculations for each case using the inheritance calculator.
No, you cannot receive anything from your grandfather while your father is alive. Your father blocks you from inheriting. This is called Hajb (blocking rules) in Islamic inheritance. A closer relative always blocks more distant ones from inheriting. Your father is closer to your grandfather than you are. Only if your father passes away before your grandfather would you have a chance to inherit through him. The Faraid calculator automatically applies these Hajb rules when you select your heirs.
If an heir dies after the original person but before receiving their share, that share doesn't go back to others. It becomes part of that heir's own estate and gets distributed among their own heirs. This creates a separate inheritance calculation. For example, if a son dies after his father but before getting his share, that son's wife and children now inherit his portion under Faraid rules. You would need to run a second calculation using the tool for the son's estate.
Debts and wills must be settled before any inheritance is distributed. First, funeral expenses are paid. Then all outstanding debts of the deceased are cleared. After that, a will (Wasiyyah) can be fulfilled, but only up to one-third (1/3) of what remains. The will cannot benefit anyone who is already an heir unless all other heirs agree. Only after these steps does the remaining net estate get divided according to Faraid rules. Our Islamic inheritance calculator includes a deductions section to handle this correctly.
Fixed share heirs (Dhawi al-Furood) are those whose shares are clearly mentioned in the Quran from Surah Nisa. Examples include husband (1/4 or 1/2), wife (1/8 or 1/4), daughter (1/2 or 2/3), mother (1/6 or 1/3), and sister. They always receive their fixed portion first. Residual heirs (Asaba) are usually male relatives like sons, fathers, or brothers who receive whatever remains after fixed shares are given. For example, if a wife gets 1/8 and daughters get 2/3, the son takes whatever is left as Asaba. The Faraid calculator shows both types clearly in your results.
