Posted by Muzna on June 17, 2026 at 3:59 amIf a married daughter with no kids passes away, which relatives get share in her inheritance and how much? She has 1 married sister who has a son and a daughter, both parents are alive and husband is also alive.

Member June 18, 2026 at 1:50 amThank you for the reply!
I’m confused about the last line if you can please clarify. By 1/2 of the rest to daughter are you referring to the sister of the deceased?
Will it be:
1/2 to husband
1/6 each to parent
1/2 to sister

Member June 21, 2026 at 3:19 pmIn your case, it should be
Husband 1/2 from total estate
Mother 1/6 and father 1/3 from leftover
Sister get remaining leftover…

Member June 22, 2026 at 8:43 amAlso what does ‘from the rest’ means? Where will the remaining 1/2 go?
This is what I’ve understood:
50 to husband
16.67 to mother
16.67 to father
8.33 to sister
8.33 remaining?

Member June 22, 2026 at 11:52 amI think you didn’t understand my awnser,
1/2 for husband from total estate.
Now from the remaing estate
1/3 for father
1/6 for mother
And remaing will go for sister.
And in some cases where heirs completed and estate remains then you have to apply this remaing leftover according to verse number 8 of sura nisa.

However, if there is no one like that, or the father is unable to take care of the family, the remaining amount can be given to the sister.
Farhan Musharraf saheb’s solution is his own, not ours.
