✦ How to Divide An Inheriance.

----------

Al Quran : Allah Subhanhu commands you as regards your children's (inheritance)

✦ To the male, a portion equal to that of two females; 

✦ If (there are) only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds (2/3 or 66.66%) of the inheritance;

✦ If only one, her share is a half. (1/2 or 50%)

✦ For parents, a sixth share (1/6 or 16.66%) of inheritance to each if the deceased left children;

✦ If no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; (1/3 or 33.33%)

✦ If the deceased left brothers (or sisters), the mother has a sixth.

✦ (The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies he may have bequeathed or (after paying) debts.

✦ You know not which of them, whether your parents or your children, are nearest to you in benefit; 

✦ (these fixed shares) are ordained by Allah Subhanhu. And Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise.
