Use this educational calculator to understand common Islamic inheritance shares for spouse, parents, sons and daughters. Legal Bridge LLP® also assists overseas heirs and families with succession certificates, probate, letters of administration, inherited property transfer, family settlements and document-led inheritance disputes in Pakistan.
This calculator covers common scenarios for a Muslim decedent in Pakistan with spouse, parents, sons and daughters. It gives an educational estimate based on Sunni Hanafi rules in general form. Complex cases involving grandchildren, siblings as heirs, grandparents, step relations, missing heirs, multiple marriages, disputed assets, gifts, wills, bequests, debts or foreign assets require lawyer review.
Funeral expenses, enforceable debts and valid bequests are generally considered before distribution. Use the deduction field for a basic net-estate estimate, then obtain proper legal review before any transfer.
Enter the gross estate value before deductions.
Example: PKR, USD, GBP, AED.
If there are two or more siblings and no children, the mother's fixed share may reduce to one sixth. This simplified calculator does not calculate siblings' own shares.
This amount is deducted before estimated distribution.
| Heir | Share fraction | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Total distributed | 0 | 0 |
