5-Endless Bliss Fifth Fascicle - Hakikat Kitabevi

Husband and wife inherit from each other’s property during
the wife’s time of ’iddat [1] in case of talâq-i rij’î [2] .
THUMUN: Gets one-eighth, and is only one person:
Wife: If the deceased has children or grandchildren by a son,
the wife gets one-eighth.
THULUTHÂN: Is two-thirds; when there are more than one
people in one of the groups whose share is nifs (half), with the
exception of the husband, they get equal shares from the twothirds.
THULUTH is one-third and is given to two people:
Mother: If the deceased does not have children,
grandchildren by a son, and (in addition to this situation) if there
is more than one of all kinds of brothers and sisters, the mother
gets one-third. If the deceased has a father and a husband or a
wife also, the mother gets one-third of what remains from the
husband or wife and the father. If the deceased has
grandfather(s) instead of a father, the mother gets one-third of
the whole property.
Uterine brothers and sisters are called benûl-akhyâf. When
they are more than one, they share the one-third among
themselves. Brothers and sisters get equal shares. If the
deceased has children or grandchildren by a son or a father or
a grandfather, the benûl-akhyâf cannot inherit anything.
SUDUS is one-sixth, and it is given to seven people:
Father: When the deceased has children or grandchildren by
a son, the father gets one-sixth.
Mother: If the deceased has children or grandchildren by a
son or more than one brother or sister of any kind, the mother
gets one-sixth.
Sahîh grandparents [3] : If the deceased does not have a
(living) father but has a son(s), the grandfathers and
grandmothers get one-sixth.
Granddaughters by a son get one-sixth and share it when
they exist with the one daughter of the deceased.
[1] A prescribed space of time; the space of time within which canonically a
woman cannot marry a man after separation from a former spouse.
[2] A kind of divorce.
[3] Jedd-i sahîh: ancestor(s) in the direct male line.
