What Is an Islamic Inheritance Calculator?

An Islamic inheritance calculator is an online tool designed to calculate potential inheritance shares according to Islamic inheritance principles.

Islamic inheritance depends on the surviving relatives of the deceased. Therefore, the result can change when the family structure changes.

For example, a calculation may involve a husband, wife, sons, daughters, parents, siblings, grandparents, or other relatives. Certain heirs can also affect the eligibility or share of other relatives.

How Does the WirasatCalc Inheritance Calculator Work?

WirasatCalc is designed to make inheritance calculations easier to understand. You provide information about the deceased person's estate and surviving heirs.

Step 1 — Choose Your Calculation Mode

WirasatCalc provides two calculation modes. Choose Share Percentage Only when you want to see fractions and percentages without entering estate amounts.

Choose Full Estate Distribution when you want to calculate estimated Rupee amounts from the estate you enter.

Step 2 — Enter the Estate

In Full Estate Distribution mode, you can enter cash, bank balances, other liquid assets, property, debts, funeral expenses, and applicable bequests.

Property can be entered using supported units such as Marla, Kanal, Acre, Murabba, Bigha, Square Yard, and Square Feet.

Step 3 — Select the Heirs

Select the surviving family members from the Heirs section. WirasatCalc includes categories such as spouses, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings, nephews, uncles, and cousins.

Use the available controls to enter whether an heir is present and the number of heirs where multiple people may exist.

Step 4 — Calculate the Shares

After entering the relevant information, press Calculate Shares. The result displays the applicable inheritance information for the selected heirs.

Depending on the calculation mode, results can include total share, share per person, total amount, and amount per person.

Step 5 — Print or Save the Result

After calculating the inheritance shares, you can print the result or save it as a PDF using your browser's print dialog.

Who Can Inherit Under Islamic Inheritance Rules?

Islamic inheritance rules recognize different categories of relatives. The applicable heirs depend on the family members who survive the deceased.

Common relatives considered in inheritance calculations include:

• Husband or wife
• Sons and daughters
• Father and mother
• Grandparents in applicable circumstances
• Brothers and sisters in applicable circumstances
• Other eligible relatives under the applicable methodology

Not every relative automatically receives a share. The presence of certain heirs can affect the eligibility and shares of other relatives.

Islamic Inheritance Shares

Islamic inheritance shares are determined according to the family circumstances of the deceased. Fixed shares may apply to certain heirs, while other heirs may receive a residuary share depending on the situation.

WirasatCalc presents the calculated shares as fractions and percentages. In Full Estate Distribution mode, the calculator can also show estimated Rupee amounts based on the estate information entered by the user.

The calculator also identifies certain results affected by concepts such as Asaba, Awl, or Radd where applicable under its calculation methodology.

Islamic Inheritance Calculator for Pakistan

Islamic inheritance is an important consideration for families in Pakistan, particularly when dealing with property, land, savings, and other assets.

WirasatCalc currently uses the Hanafi (Sunni) methodology described on its guide page. This methodology is commonly used in Pakistan.

However, Islamic inheritance calculations and Pakistani legal procedures are separate matters. Property transfers, succession certificates, disputes, and other formal processes may require legal documentation and professional advice.

Quranic Basis of Islamic Inheritance

The Quran provides important inheritance principles in Surah An-Nisa. Verses 4:11, 4:12, and 4:176 address important categories of inheritance shares and family situations.

These verses form an important foundation for the Islamic science of Fara'id. Classical Islamic scholarship further developed detailed rules for different family circumstances.

For a detailed explanation of the Islamic basis used by WirasatCalc, see our Islamic Inheritance Guide.
