Inheritance Shares

Who inherits what under Muslim law in India?

How these shares are produced

Engine-computed

Every fraction comes from Wasiyat's verified Faraid engine, not a hand-written table.

Cited to source

Each share links to the Quranic verse or hadith it rests on.

All six schools

Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali, Ja'fari and Ahle Hadees, side by side.

Nothing unverified

A school is only shown when every engine validation check passed for that family.

Your family doesn't match any of these?
