quran:4:12

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 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 Allah, and Allah is Knowing and Forbearing.  

And for you a half of what your wives leave, if they have no children, from you or from another; but if they have children, then for you a fourth of what they leave, after any bequest they may bequeath, or any debt: the consensus is that the grandchild in this case is like the child. And for them, the wives, whether one or more, a fourth of what you leave, if you have no children; but if you have children, from them or from others, then for them an eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you may bequeath, or any debt; again the consensus is that the grandchild is as the child. If it be a man leaving an inheritance (yūrathu, ‘being inherited from’, is an adjectival qualification, the predicate of which is ˹the following kalālatan, ‘without direct heir’˺) and not having a direct heir, that is, ˹having˺ neither a parent nor child, or it be a woman, leaving an inheritance and having no direct heir, but it be that such, a man leaving an inheritance with no direct heir, has a brother or a sister, from the same mother, as read by Ibn Mas‘ūd and others, then to each of the two a sixth, of what he leaves; but if they, the siblings from the same mother, be more than that, that is, ˹more˺ than one, then they share a third, the male and female equally, after any bequest to be bequeathed or any debt without prejudice (ghayra mudārrin, is a circumstantial qualifier referring to the person governing ˹the verb˺ yūsā, ‘to be bequeathed’) in other words, without causing any prejudice to the inheritors by bequeathing more than the third); a charge (wasiyyatan, a verbal noun reaffirming ˹the import of˺ yūsīkum, ‘He charges you’ ˹of the beginning of the previous verse˺) from God. God is Knowing, of the obligations which He has ordained for His creatures, Forbearing, in deferring the punishment of those that disobey Him. The Sunna specifies that the individuals mentioned may receive the relevant inheritance provided that they are not barred from it on account of their having committed murder, or ˹their belonging to˺ a different religion or being slaves.
القرآن:٤:١٢

وَلَكُمْ نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ أَزْوَاجُكُمْ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَلَكُمُ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْنَ ۚ مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصِينَ بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ ۚ وَلَهُنَّ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكُمْ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ وَلَدٌ فَلَهُنَّ الثُّمُنُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ ۚ مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ تُوصُونَ بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ ۗ وَإِنْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُورَثُ كَلَالَةً أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ وَلَهُ أَخٌ أَوْ أُخْتٌ فَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ ۚ فَإِنْ كَانُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَٰلِكَ فَهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ فِي الثُّلُثِ ۚ مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصَىٰ بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ غَيْرَ مُضَارٍّ ۚ وَصِيَّةً مِنَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَلِيمٌ  

{ولكم نصف ما ترك أزواجكم إن لم يكن لهن ولد} منكم أو من غيركم {فإن كان لهن ولد فلكم الربع مما تركن من بعد وصية يوصين بها أو دين} وألحق بالولد في ذلك ولد الابن بالإجماع {ولهن} أي الزوجات تعددن أو لا {الربع مما تركتم إن لم يكن لكم ولد فإن كان لكم ولد} منهن أو من غيرهن {فلهن الثمن مما تركتم من بعد وصية توصون بها أو دين} وولد الابن في ذلك كالولد إجماعا {وإن كان رجل يورث} صفة والخبر {كلالة} أي لا والد له ولا ولد {أو امرأة} تورث كلالة {وله} أي للمورث كلالة {أخ أو أخت} أي من أم وقرأ به ابن مسعود وغيره {فلكل واحد منهما السدس} مما ترك {فإن كانوا} أي الإخوة والأخوات من الأم {أكثر من ذلك} أي من واحد {فهم شركاء في الثلث} يستوي فيه ذكرهم وأنثاهم {من بعد وصية يوصي بها أو دين غير مُضارّ} حال من ضمير يوصي أي غير مدخل الضرر على الورثة بأن يوصي بأكثر من الثلث {وصيةً} مصدر مؤكد ليوصيكم {من الله والله عليم} بما دبره لخلقه من الفرائض {حليم} بتأخير العقوبة عمن خالفه، وخصت السنة توريث من ذكر بمن ليس فيه مانع من قتل أو اختلاف دين أو رقٌ.
