In what your wives leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave a child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they get an eighth; after payment of legacies and debts. If the man or woman whose inheritance is in question, has left neither ascendants nor descendants, but has left a brother or a sister, each one of the two gets a sixth; but if more than two, they share in a third; after payment of legacies and debts; so that no loss is caused (to any one). Thus is it ordained by Allah; and Allah is All-knowing, Most Forbearing.

They ask thee for a legal decision. Say: Allah directs (thus) about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs. If it is a man that dies, leaving a sister but no child, she shall have half the inheritance: If (such a deceased was) a woman, who left no child, Her brother takes her inheritance: If there are two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance (between them): if there are brothers and sisters, (they share), the male having twice the share of the female. Thus doth Allah make clear to you (His law), lest ye err. And Allah hath knowledge of all things.

如果你们的妻室没有子女，那末，你们得受她们的遗产的二分之一。如果她们有子女，那末，你们得受她们的遗产的四分之一。（这种分配）须在交付亡人所嘱的遗赠或清偿亡人所欠的债务之后。如果你们没有子女，那末，你们的妻室得你们遗产的四分之一。如果你们有子女，那末，她们得你们遗产的八分之一。（这种分配），须在交付亡人所嘱的遗赠或清偿亡人所欠的债务之后。如果被继承的男子或女子，上无父母，下无子女，只有（同母异父的）更多的兄弟和姐妹，那末，他们和她们，均分遗产的三分之一。（这种分配），须在交付亡人所嘱的遗赠或清偿亡人所欠的债务之后，但留遗嘱的时候，不得妨害继承人的权利。 这是从真主发出的命令。真主是全知的，是至容的。

他们请求你解释律例。你说：“真主为你们解释关于孤独人的律例。如果一个男人死了，他没有儿女，只有一个姐姐或妹妹，那末，她得他的遗产的二分之一；如果他她没有儿女，那他就继承她。如果他的继承人是两个姐姐或妹妹，那末，她们俩得遗产的三分之二；如果继承人是几个兄弟姐妹，那末， 一个男人得两个女人的份子。真主为你们阐明律例，以免你们迷误。真主是全知万物的。”
