Mirath - The Laws of Islamic Inheritance

Note: The same principle will apply if `Awl is done, but instead of the
multiplier times the sum, the multiplier times the `Awl will be what is
used to get the Ta]#|#. This will be in all scenarios.
Tashih is the result of
The sum Àwl the multiplier times Àwl The multiplier

4 is not dividable by
the heirs (6), so
multiplying is needed
All allotments are
multiplied by the wifq (3)
to reach the Tashih
(9+3+12=24)

Both allotment (4) and the number of
inheritors (6) are multiples of 2.
The number of inheritors will be divided
by 2 and the result is the wifq (3)
will be the multiplier.
(c) If the allotments cannot be split amongst the heirs, and the number
of inheritors and the allotments have no relationship to each other,
then the number of heirs will be taken as the multiplier to make the
Ta]#|#.

All allotments are
multiplied by the wifq (6)
to reach the Tashih (72)
The number of heirs and their allotments
do not have any common divisor so the full
number of heirs is made the multiplier
Note: The benefit of using lower numbers as the multiplier is only seen
when the scenario is complicated by very large numbers.
