Common mistakes

  • Applying one-third to the gross estate before paying debts.
  • Treating a bequest to an heir as automatically valid without other heirs’ consent.
  • Leaving property out of the estate when only cash was counted.

Frequently asked questions

Why one-third?

A well-known hadith limits a wasiyyah to one-third of the estate after debts, so Qur’anic heirs are not deprived.

Can I bequest to an heir?

Many scholars require the other heirs’ consent for a bequest to someone who already inherits. This page only applies the one-third cap.

What remains for Faraid?

Gross money + property − debts − funeral − allowed wasiyyah is what the Islamic Inheritance Calculator then divides.

What formula does the Islamic Bequest Calculator use?

It uses: Max wasiyyah = (Money + Property − Debts − Funeral) / 3. The result page also shows a step-by-step breakdown of how your answer was calculated.
