Ayah 176

يَسۡتَفۡتُونَكَ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يُفۡتِيكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡكَلَٰلَةِۚ إِنِ ٱمۡرُؤٌاْ هَلَكَ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ وَلَدٞ وَلَهُۥٓ أُخۡتٞ فَلَهَا نِصۡفُ مَا تَرَكَۚ وَهُوَ يَرِثُهَآ إِن لَّمۡ يَكُن لَّهَا وَلَدٞۚ فَإِن كَانَتَا ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ فَلَهُمَا ٱلثُّلُثَانِ مِمَّا تَرَكَۚ وَإِن كَانُوٓاْ إِخۡوَةٗ رِّجَالٗا وَنِسَآءٗ فَلِلذَّكَرِ مِثۡلُ حَظِّ ٱلۡأُنثَيَيۡنِۗ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ أَن تَضِلُّواْۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمُۢ

176. (O Beloved Prophet Muhammad) They request from you a decree [496]. Say: Allah decrees to you regarding a person who leaves [497] neither father nor child. If a man dies and has no child but only a sister, she will inherit half of what he left. And the man will be the heir of his sister if she [498] has no child. However, if there are two sisters, they will inherit two-thirds [499] of what he left. If there are brothers and sisters, males and females [500], then the share of the male is equal to the shares of two women [501]. Allah explains to you clearly so that you may not go astray [502]. And Allah knows everything.
