176 - AN NISA (Ayat# 176) last
Islamic inheritance law addresses the distribution of wealth among relatives following a person's death. This discussion clarifies the specific rulings pertaining to 'Kalalah,' an individual who dies without children or parents. In such cases, a sister is entitled to half the inheritance, while a brother inherits the entire estate if the deceased has no other relatives. If there are multiple sisters, they share two-thirds of the inheritance, adhering to the principle that a male heir receives twice the share of a female heir. These rulings were initially revealed to address the unique circumstances of half-siblings, but the general principles apply universally to all sibling relationships, mirroring the laws governing inheritance between sons and daughters.
