Obligatory deductions include reasonable funeral/burial costs, verified debts and unpaid spousal deferred dowry (Mahr Mu'ajjal), and valid testamentary bequests within the statutory one-third limit.

Question 2

What is the surviving spouse's statutory inheritance share when children exist?

Accepted Answer

A surviving wife inherits one-eighth (1/8) if the deceased has children, or one-fourth (1/4) without children. A surviving husband receives one-fourth (1/4) with children, and one-half (1/2) if no children exist.
