Faraid shares, explained with care
When a family needs clarity on Islamic inheritance, we calculate shares, prepare a distribution memo, and offer a calm briefing — never rushed, never sensational.
| Heir | Illustrative share | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Spouse | 1/4 or 1/8 | Depends on whether children survive |
| Daughter(s) | 1/2 · 2/3 · residue | Sole, plural, or with sons — rules differ |
| Son(s) | Residue (2:1) | With daughters, typically twice a sister's share |
| Father / Mother | 1/6 each* | *Common case with children; other cases vary |
What we will do
- Collect family tree and asset overview (you provide summaries)
- Calculate Faraid shares for the surviving heirs
- Write a distribution memo families can discuss calmly
- Offer a private briefing call for relatives
HK process vs Faraid
- HK probate / administration transfers legal title
- Faraid informs how Muslim families intend to share
- Conflicts of law may need a solicitor — we stay advisory
- We do not represent you in court or act as executor
What the engagement includes
