Inheritance Calculator — free tool for Saudi Arabia.
This calculator helps you understand the general basics of estate distribution under Sharia inheritance rules, based on the basic heir composition of the case.
Estate division under Saudi law relies on Sharia inheritance rules determining each degree of kinship's share based on the presence or absence of other heirs. For example, the wife's share differs if the deceased has children versus not, and siblings' shares differ based on the presence of the father or male children.
Enter the basic heir composition (husband or wife, children, parents) in the available fields, and the calculator will display an approximate distribution of shares under the general Sharia inheritance rules.
This calculator covers only the basic, most common cases, and doesn't cover all exceptional cases in inheritance jurisprudence such as maternal siblings, grandparents, or complex proportional reduction (awl) and return (radd) cases needing precise jurisprudential calculation from a specialist.
Important: Islamic inheritance is a precise discipline affected by many details (parents, siblings, exclusion rules, wills, etc.). This tool gives a first estimate for the simplest cases only, and is never a substitute for a lawyer or Sharia scholar determining the actual heirs and dividing the estate accurately.
No, it's only an initial awareness tool; actual distribution needs obtaining an official heirs' certificate and precise calculation from a competent court or specialized Sharia advisor.
The will is executed within the one-third limit of the estate at most before distributing the remainder to heirs under inheritance rules, and this calculator doesn't cover it.
The calculator covers the common basic cases; more complex cases involving siblings with the presence or absence of the father need specialized consultation.
