وَلَـكُمۡ نِصۡفُ مَا تَرَكَ اَزۡوَاجُكُمۡ اِنۡ لَّمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهُنَّ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنۡ كَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَلَـكُمُ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكۡنَ​ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُّوۡصِيۡنَ بِهَاۤ اَوۡ دَ يۡنٍ​ ؕ وَلَهُنَّ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكۡتُمۡ اِنۡ لَّمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّكُمۡ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنۡ كَانَ لَـكُمۡ وَلَدٌ فَلَهُنَّ الثُّمُنُ مِمَّا تَرَكۡتُمۡ​ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِ وَصِيَّةٍ تُوۡصُوۡنَ بِهَاۤ اَوۡ دَ يۡنٍ​ ؕ وَاِنۡ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُّوۡرَثُ كَلٰلَةً اَوِ امۡرَاَةٌ وَّلَهٗۤ اَخٌ اَوۡ اُخۡتٌ فَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنۡهُمَا السُّدُسُ​ ۚ فَاِنۡ كَانُوۡۤا اَكۡثَرَ مِنۡ ذٰ لِكَ فَهُمۡ شُرَكَآءُ فِى الثُّلُثِ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُّوۡصٰى بِهَاۤ اَوۡ دَ يۡنٍ ۙ غَيۡرَ مُضَآرٍّ​ ۚ وَصِيَّةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِ​ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمٌ حَلِيۡمٌ ؕ‏ ۝

And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child. But if they have a child, for you is one fourth of what they leave, after any bequest they may have made or debt. And for them i.e., the wives is one fourth if you leave no child. But if you leave a child, then for them is an eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you may have made or debt. And if a man or woman leaves neither ascendants nor descendants but has a brother or a sister, then for each one of them is a sixth. But if they are more than two, they share a third, after any bequest which was made or debt, as long as there is no detriment caused. This is an ordinance from Allāh, and Allāh is Knowing and Forbearing.

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Law of Spouses' Inheritance: Establishing fixed shares for widows/widowers based on children.

The Insight

This verse defines the fixed shares of inheritance for spouses, depending on whether the deceased left children. **Protect the surviving spouse.** Ensure the financial security of widows and widowers. These laws prevent the surviving spouse from being left destitute, protecting the stability of the remaining family unit.
