Explanation

• In Islamic inheritance law (Faraid), the share of a wife depends on whether the husband leaves children or not.
• If the husband has children, the wife receives 1/8th of the property.
• If the husband has no children, the wife receives 1/4th of the property.
• This is based on the Quranic injunctions in Surah An-Nisa (4:12).
• Islamic law clearly outlines fixed shares for all heirs.
