لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْأَقْرَبُونَ وَلِلنِّسَاءِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْأَقْرَبُونَ

Surah An-Nisa, 4:7

Tarka Calculator

ترکہ کیلکولیٹر — میراث کی تقسیم فقہ حنفی کے مطابق

Enter who survives the deceased and this works out each heir's share of the estate under Hanafi fiqh, together with the reason that share was given and who is excluded from inheriting.

What counts as Tarka?

Tarka is everything of value the deceased owned at the moment of death. It includes all movable and immovable property, cash, land, houses, and any valid financial claims or dues owed to them.

Nothing is divided between heirs until four things have been settled, in this order:

  1. Funeral expenses — shrouding and burial, without extravagance.
  2. Debts — every debt owed by the deceased, to people and to Allah alike.
  3. Bequest (wasiyyat) — up to one third of what remains, and never to someone who is already an heir unless the other heirs agree after the death.
  4. The remainder — divided between the heirs, which is what this calculator works out.

1 · The Estate

Leave these blank if you only want the shares as fractions.

2 · Who Survives the Deceased

Enter how many of each are alive. Leave the rest at zero.

Please read before you rely on this

  • This calculator is a guide, not a fatwa. Before dividing a real estate, have the division confirmed by a qualified mufti or a scholar of farā'iḍ who knows the full circumstances of the family.
  • It follows Hanafi fiqh. Other schools differ on several points — most notably whether a grandfather excludes brothers and sisters, and whether a spouse shares in radd.
  • It covers the near relatives listed above. It does not yet handle dhawū al-arḥām (distant kindred such as a daughter's children, a sister's children, or maternal uncles and aunts), nephews, or paternal uncles and their sons, who inherit when none of the above survive.
  • Special situations are outside its scope — a missing person (mafqūd), an unborn child (ḥaml), two relatives who die together, a person who caused the death, and differences of religion all change the outcome and need a scholar.
  • Property that was never the deceased's to leave — something already gifted and handed over in their lifetime, or held only in trust — is not part of the tarka at all.
  • Nothing you type here is saved. The figures are worked out for this one page and then forgotten.
