Lesson
Three
forms of inheritance for the father and mother have also been described
in this verse:
1. If the deceased person had
children then each of his parents will get sixth portion from the inheritance.
2. If the dead person had no
children, and only parents are the heirs, then the mother will get one-third
while the father two-third.
3. If the late person had brothers
and sisters more than one, whether they are real or only from the father-side
or only from the mother-side, and had no child then the mother will get sixth
portion and the remaining wealth will be given to the father. Brother and
sister will get nothing. Moreover, if he had only one brother or one sister
then mother will get one-third and the two-third will be given to the father.
It is
compulsory that the heirs will be given their portion from the heritage after
the payment of late person’s debts and will. Wealth of the deceased person
should be used on his shroud and burial first, then his/her debts be paid from
it, then out of the remaining portion of the property, up to one third would be
used as per the Will of the deceased person. Now, what is remaining, that
should be distributed between the heirs.
After
that, Allah Almighty commanded that you do not know about the person, which of
them is nearer unto you in usefulness. It is an injunction from Allah Almighty,
you should not interfere in the fixed portions but the portion that Allah
Almighty has fixed, you should abide by them.
