And unto you belongeth a half of that which your wives leave, if they have no child; but if they have a child then unto you the fourth of that which they leave, after any legacy they may have bequeathed, or debt they may have contracted, hath been paid. And unto them belongeth the fourth of that which ye leave if ye have no child, but if ye have a child then the eighth of that which ye leave, after any legacy ye may have bequeathed, or debt ye may have contracted, hath been paid. And if a man or a woman have a distant heir having left neither parent nor child, and he or she have a brother or a sister only on the mother's side then to each of them twain the brother and the sister the sixth, and if they be more than two, then they shall be sharers in the third, after any legacy that may have been bequeathed or debt contracted not injuring the heirs by willing away more than a third of the heritage hath been paid. A commandment from Allah. Allah is Knower, Indulgent.
