## Understanding Islamic Inheritance (Faraid)

### Quranic Foundation

Islamic inheritance rules are primarily derived from Surah An-Nisa (4:11-12, 4:176). These verses prescribe fixed shares for specific relatives of the deceased.

### Five Schools

The four Sunni schools (Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) and the Ja'fari (Twelver Shia) school each interpret inheritance rules with nuanced differences in edge cases.

### Awl & Radd

When fixed shares exceed 100%, Awl (proportional reduction) applies. When shares total less than 100%, Radd (redistribution) returns the surplus to eligible heirs.
