Hadith record

Hadith.5603 - Al-Faḍl narrated that Abdullah ibn Al-Walid Al-Adani, the companion of Sufyan, reported from Abu Al-Qasim Al-Kufi, the companion of Abu Yusuf, who narrated from Abu Yusuf, who said: Layth ibn Abi Sulaym narrated from Abu Amr Al-Abdi, from Ibn Sulayman, from Imam Ali ibn Abi Ṭalib (as), who used to say: "The shares of inheritance are from six portions: two-thirds is four portions, half is three portions, one-third is two portions, one-fourth is one and a half portions, and one-eighth is three-fourths of a portion. No one inherits alongside the children except the parents, the husband, and the wife. The mother is not prevented from receiving one-third except by the presence of children or siblings. The husband's share does not exceed half, nor is it reduced from one-fourth. The wife's share does not exceed one-fourth, nor is it reduced from one-eighth. If there are four wives or fewer, they share equally. Siblings from the mother do not inherit more than one-third and are not given less than one-sixth, and in this, males and females are equal. They are not prevented from receiving one-third except by the presence of children or the father. Blood money (diyyah for accidental death) is distributed among those who inherit the estate."
