يُوۡصِيۡكُمُ اللّٰهُ فِىۡۤ اَوۡلَادِكُمۡ​ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثۡلُ حَظِّ الۡاُنۡثَيَيۡنِ​ ۚ فَاِنۡ كُنَّ نِسَآءً فَوۡقَ اثۡنَتَيۡنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَكَ​ ۚ وَاِنۡ كَانَتۡ وَاحِدَةً فَلَهَا النِّصۡفُ​ ؕ وَلِاَ بَوَيۡهِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنۡهُمَا السُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ اِنۡ كَانَ لَهٗ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنۡ لَّمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ وَلَدٌ وَّوَرِثَهٗۤ اَبَوٰهُ فَلِاُمِّهِ الثُّلُثُ​ ؕ فَاِنۡ كَانَ لَهٗۤ اِخۡوَةٌ فَلِاُمِّهِ السُّدُسُ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُّوۡصِىۡ بِهَاۤ اَوۡ دَيۡنٍ​ ؕ اٰبَآؤُكُمۡ وَاَبۡنَآؤُكُمۡ ۚ لَا تَدۡرُوۡنَ اَيُّهُمۡ اَقۡرَبُ لَـكُمۡ نَفۡعًا​ ؕ فَرِيۡضَةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ​ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِيۡمًا حَكِيۡمًا‏
English
Allah thus commands you concerning your children: the share of the male is like that of two females. If (the heirs of the deceased are) more than two daughters, they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance; and if there is only one daughter, then she shall have half the inheritance. If the deceased has any offspring, each of his parents shall have a sixth of the inheritance; and if the deceased has no child and his parents alone inherit him, then one-third shall go to his mother; and if the deceased has brothers and sisters, then one-sixth shall go to his mother. All these shares are to be given after payment of the bequest he might have made or any debts outstanding against him. You do not know which of them, your parents or your children, are more beneficial to you. But these portions have been determined by Allah, for He indeed knows all, is cognizant of all beneficent considerations.
Urdu
Tumhari aulad ke barey mein Allah tumhein hidayat karta hai ke : Mard ka hissa do auraton ke barabar hai, agar ( mayyat ki waris) do se zayid ladkiyan hon to unhein tarke(inheritance) ka do tihayi (2/3rd) diya jaye, aur agar ek hi ladki waris ho to aadha (half) tarka uska hai, agar mayyat sahib e aulad ho to uske walidain mein se har ek ko tarke ka chatta (sixth) hissa milna chahiye, aur agar woh sahib e aulad na ho aur walidain hi uske waris hon to Maa ko tisra (third) hissa diya jaye aur agar mayyat ke bhai behan bhi hon to Maa chattey (sixth) hissey ki haqqdar hogi. (Yeh sab hissey us waqt nikale jayein) jabke wasiyat jo mayyat ne ki ho poori kardi jaye aur qarz jo uspar ho ada kardiya jaye. Tum nahin jaante ke tumhare Maa Baap aur tumhari aulad mein se kaun balihaaz-e-nafa tumse qareeb tarr hai. Yeh hissey Allah ne muqarrar kardiye hain, aur Allah yaqeenan sab haqeeqaton se waqif aur saari maslihaton ka jaanne wala hai
Surah An-Nisa: 4 - Ayah: 12
Arabic
وَلَـكُمۡ نِصۡفُ مَا تَرَكَ اَزۡوَاجُكُمۡ اِنۡ لَّمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهُنَّ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنۡ كَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَلَـكُمُ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكۡنَ​ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُّوۡصِيۡنَ بِهَاۤ اَوۡ دَ يۡنٍ​ ؕ وَلَهُنَّ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكۡتُمۡ اِنۡ لَّمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّكُمۡ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنۡ كَانَ لَـكُمۡ وَلَدٌ فَلَهُنَّ الثُّمُنُ مِمَّا تَرَكۡتُمۡ​ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِ وَصِيَّةٍ تُوۡصُوۡنَ بِهَاۤ اَوۡ دَ يۡنٍ​ ؕ وَاِنۡ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُّوۡرَثُ كَلٰلَةً اَوِ امۡرَاَةٌ وَّلَهٗۤ اَخٌ اَوۡ اُخۡتٌ فَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنۡهُمَا السُّدُسُ​ ۚ فَاِنۡ كَانُوۡۤا اَكۡثَرَ مِنۡ ذٰ لِكَ فَهُمۡ شُرَكَآءُ فِى الثُّلُثِ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُّوۡصٰى بِهَاۤ اَوۡ دَ يۡنٍ ۙ غَيۡرَ مُضَآرٍّ​ ۚ وَصِيَّةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِ​ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمٌ حَلِيۡمٌ ؕ‏
English
And to you belongs half of whatever has been left behind by your wives if they die childless; but if they have any children then to you belongs a fourth of what they have left behind, after payment of the bequest they might have made or any debts outstanding against them. And to them belongs a fourth of what you leave behind, if you die childless; and if you have any child then to them belongs one-eighth of what you have left behind, after the payment of the bequest you might have made or any debts outstanding against you. And if the man or woman has no heir in the direct line, but has a brother or sister, then each of these shall inherit one-sixth; but if they are more than two, then they shall inherit one-third of the inheritance, after the payment of the bequest that might have been made or any debts outstanding against the deceased, providing that the bequest causes no injury. This is a commandment from Allah; Allah is All-Knowing, All-Forbearing.

Aur tumhari biwiyon ne jo kuch choda ho uska aadha hissa tumhein milega agar woh be-aulad hon, warna aulad honay ki surat mein tarke ka ek chuthayi (one fourth) hissa tumhara hai jabke wasiyat jo unhon ne ki ho poori kardi jaye, aur qarz jo unhon ne choda ho ada kardiya jaye, aur woh tumhare tarke mein se chauthayi ki haqqdar hongi agar tum be-aulad ho, warna sahib e aulad honay ki surat mein unka hissa aathwa (eighth) hoga, baad iske ke jo wasiyat tumne ki ho woh poori kardi jaye aur jo qarz tumne choda ho woh ada kardiya jaye aur agar woh mard ya aurat ( jiski miras taqseem talab hai) be-aulad bhi ho aur uske Maa baap bhi zinda na hon, magar uska ek bhai ya ek behan maujood ho to bhai aur behan har ek ko chatta(sixth) hissa milega, aur bhai behan ek se zyada hon to kul tarke ke ek tihayi (one third) mein woh sab shareek honge, jabke wasiyat jo ki gayi ho poori kardi jaye, aur qarz jo mayyat ne choda ho ada kardiya jaye, bashrat ye ke woh zarrar rasan na ho (causes no injury). Yeh hukum Allah ki taraf se aur Allah daana o beena aur narm-khu hai

People ask you to pronounce a ruling concerning inheritance from those who have left behind no lineal heirs (kalalah). Say: 'Allah pronounces for you the ruling: should a man die childless but have a sister, she shall have one half of what he has left behind; and should the sister die childless, his brother shall inherit her. And if the heirs are two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of what he has left behind. And if the heirs are sisters and brothers, then the male shall have the share of two females. Allah makes (His commandments) clear to you lest you go astray. Allah has full knowledge of everything.
Urdu
Log tumse ‘kalalah’(inheritance from those woh have left behind no lineal heirs) ke maamle mein fatwa puchte hain. Kaho Allah tumhein fatwa deta hai: agar koi shaks be-aulad marr jaye aur uski ek behan ho to woh uske tarke (what he has left behind) mein se nisf(half) paayegi, aur agar behan be-aulad marey to bhai uska waris hoga. Agar mayyat ki waris do behnein hon to woh tarke mein se do-tihayi (two-third) ki haqqdar hongi, aur agar kayi bhai behnein hon to auraton ka ekehra aur mardon ka dohra hissa (then the male shall have the share of two females) hoga. Allah tumhare liye ehkaam ki tauzeeh (makes clear) karta hai taa-ke tum bhatakte na phiro aur Allah har cheez ka ilm rakhta hai
