Briefly Quotaion from the Quraan:

"From what is left by parents And those nearest related"
(From my source: The interpreter resisted the temptation to translate "next to kin" as this phrase has a technical meaning in Indian Law, referring to certain kinds of jiers, whereas here the people meant are those whose inheritance is to be divided).

"There is a share for men And a share for women, wheter the property be small Or large,-a determinate share."
"But if at the time of division Other relatives, or orphans, Or poor, are present, Give them out of the (property), And speak to them Words of kindness and justice."
(The shares are specified. Here the general principles are laid down that females inherit as well as males, and that relatives who have no legal shares, orphans, and indigent people are not to be treated harshly, if present at the division.)

"Let those (disposing of an estate) Have the same fear in their minds As they would have for their own If they had left a helpless family behind: Let them fear Allah, and speak Appropriate words"
(It is a touching argument addressed to those who have to divide an estate. @How anxious would you be if you had left a helpless family behind? If others do so, help and be kind'.

To be continued!

The issue of inheritance should be discussed within the marriage and registered in the form of a will at a solicitors,court or some neutral body. The husband should stipulate how his wealth should be spilt up amongst his dependents the same rule can apply to women as well. Family dynamics vary from family to family and blanket judgements cannot be made across the board on how wealth should be distributed. But it would save a lot of confusion if spouses left wills because bereavement is a very emotional time, and an opportune moment for unscruplous people to take advantage of the situation and steal inheritance that rightfully belongs to someone else.

Peace

2nd part of my Continuation:

Allah (thus) directs you As regards your children's (inheritance): to the male, A portion equal to that Of two females: if only daughters, two or more, Their share is two-thirds Of the inheritance; If only one, her share is a half

The principles of inheritance law are laid down in broad outline in the Qu-ran: the precise details have been worked out on the basis of Prophet's practice and that of his companions, and by interpretaion and analogy. Muslim jurists have collected a vast amount of learning on this subject, and this body of law is enough by itself to form the subject of life-long study. Here we shall deal only with the broad principles to be gathered from the Text, as interpreted by the Jurists.

1) The power of testamentary disposition extends over only on-third of the Property; the remaining two-thirds are distributed among heirs as laid down.

2) All distribution takes place after the legacies and debts (including funeral expenses) have first been paid.

3) Legacies cannot be left to any of the hiers included in the sceme of distribution; or it will amount to upsetting the shares and undue preference of one heir to another.

4) Generally' but not always' the male share double that of his own category.

"A portion equal to that Of two females: if only daughters.." At first sight, the Arabic words seem to mean: "if more than two daughters." But the alternative in the next clause must mean: "if two daughters, two or more." This is the general interpretation, and is confirmed by supplementary provision (in iv. 176 at the end of the Sura, which should be read along with this).

To be continued and next as follows:-
1) Portions allotted to a) children, and b) parents.
2) Pre-death (Inheritance) a) Will b) Next of Kin etc

3rd Part continuation:
Your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are settled portions ordained by Allah: and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
(This verse deals with the portions allotted to a) children, and b) parents. The next verse deals with the portions allotted to c) husband or wife of the deceased, and d) collaterals. The children's shares are fixed, but their amount willdepend upon what goes to the parents. If both parents are living, and there are also children, both father and mother take a sixth each: if only one parent is living, he or she takes his or her sitxth; and the rest goes to the children. If the parents are living, he or she takes his or her sixth; and the rest goes to the children. If the parents areliving, and there is no child or other heir, the mother gets a third (and the father the remaining two-thirds); if there are no children, but there are brothers or sisters (this is interpreted strictly in the plural), the mother has a sixth, and the father apparently the residue, but it establishhes the proposition that children and parents have always some share if they survive, but their shares are affected by the existence and number of the heirs in these categories.)

Next I would confine myself to summarise who (beneficiaries) should inherit your wealth (under sharia)? and ignore the portions allotted because that jurisprudence is authoritative. Therefore the above examples and contributions from Janyanfara, Njucks, Kondorong and others is adequate.
