1. **Qur’an Source:** Surah An-Nisā’, Surah 4, Ayah 12
وَلَكُمْ نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ أَزْوَاجُكُمْ إِن لَّمْ يَكُن لَّهُنَّ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَإِن كَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَلَكُمُ ٱلرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْنَ
Translation: If your wives have children, then you get one-fourth of what they leave.
Simple Meaning: The wife gets a fixed share first. Then the rest goes to the children by Allah’s rules.
2. **Hadith Source:** Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 6732, Sahih
أَلْحِقُوا الفَرَائِضَ بِأَهْلِهَا، فَمَا بَقِيَ فَلِأَوْلَى رَجُلٍ ذَكَرٍ.
Meaning: Give the fixed shares to the people who are entitled to them. Then whatever is left goes to the nearest male relative.
Simple Explanation: First we give the wife her set share. Then we divide the rest between the children.
3. **How this is divided:** - Wife gets $1/8$ because there are children. - The rest is for the children. - A son gets the share of $2$ daughters. 4. **Your example:** If the total is $100$. - Wife gets $100 \times 1/8 = 12.5$ - Left is $100 - 12.5 = 87.5$ 5. **Split the children:** - 1 son = $2$ shares - 2 daughters = $1 + 1 = 2$ shares - Total shares = $4$ So each share is $87.5 \div 4 = 21.875$ - Son gets $2$ shares = $43.75$ - Each daughter gets $1$ share = $21.875$ 6. **Final division of $100$:** - Wife: $12.5$ - Son: $43.75$ - Daughter 1: $21.875$ - Daughter 2: $21.875$ 7. **Easy picture:** Think of $100$ candies. First give the wife $12.5$ candies. Then give the rest to the children in parts. The son gets twice as much as each daughter. 8. **Important note:** If there are debts, funeral costs, or a will, those are handled before the division. For exact family cases, ask a qualified scholar. **Takeaway:** The wife takes her fixed share first, then the children split the rest with the son getting twice each daughter’s share. Allah knows best.
