Calculate inheritance shares across all four Sunni schools — Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi‘i & Hanbali — plus a blended Ja‘fari (Shia) mode — with full handling of awl, radd, al-‘Umariyyatain, and hajb exclusions.
Educational estimate only. Select your school (madhab) below — Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi‘i or Hanbali. Outcomes may differ between schools and from local statutory probate rules. You must verify distribution with a qualified Islamic scholar and the legal authority in your country before executing any estate division.
تَعَلَّمُوا الفَرَائِضَ وَعَلِّمُوهَا النَّاسَ، فَإِنَّهَا نِصْفُ العِلْمِ، وَهُوَ يُنْسَى، وَهُوَ أَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ يُنْزَعُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي.
“Learn the laws of inheritance, and teach them to the people, for they are half of useful knowledge — and it is what is first forgotten and first taken away from my Ummah.”
— Sunan Ibn Mājah 2719 · al-Mustadrak of al-Ḥākim
