1. **Qur'an Source:** Surah An-Nisa, Surah 4, Ayah 11
يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنثَيَيْنِ
Allah commands you about your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females.
Simple Meaning:
Boys get twice the share of girls when dividing inheritance.
2. There is a wife, one son, and two daughters. The wife gets 1/8 of the property because there are children.
3. First, divide 100 acres:
- Wife's share = 1/8 × 100 = 12.5 acres
- Remaining = 100 - 12.5 = 87.5 acres
4. The son and daughters share the 87.5 acres. The son gets twice what each daughter gets.
5. Let's say each daughter's share is $x$. Then son’s share is $2x$. There are 2 daughters, so total shares = $2x + x + x = 4x$.
6. So, $4x = 87.5$ acres, meaning $x = 87.5 / 4 = 21.875$ acres.
7. Shares:
- Son = $2x = 43.75$ acres
- Each daughter = $21.875$ acres
**Final answer:**
- Wife: 12.5 acres
- Son: 43.75 acres
- Each daughter: 21.875 acres
**Takeaway:** The wife gets 1/8, and the children share the rest, with boys getting twice as much as girls. Allah knows best.
