Faraid is the Islamic law of inheritance derived from the Quran and Sunnah. It prescribes fixed shares for specific heirs and ensures wealth is distributed justly among family members after death. The primary verses governing Faraid are found in Surah An-Nisa (4:11-12).

Question 2

What are the key principles of Islamic inheritance?

Accepted Answer

Key principles include: debts are paid first, then bequests (wasiyyah) up to 1/3, followed by distribution to heirs according to fixed shares. Fixed-share heirs (Ashab al-Furud) receive their designated portions, and residuary heirs (Asabah) receive the remainder. The male heir typically receives double the female heir of the same degree.

Wasiyyah (bequest) is a voluntary gift made from the estate before inheritance distribution. According to Islamic law, it is limited to a maximum of one-third (1/3) of the total estate after debts. Bequests to legal heirs are not permitted without the consent of other heirs.
