Many daughters are still deprived of their rightful inheritance — not always because the law is unclear, but because the calculation is never properly understood. This problem is not new. It is, in fact, the very reason the inheritance verses were revealed. After the Battle of Uhud, the widow of Sa'd ibn al-Rabi' (رضي الله عنه) came to the Prophet ﷺ with her two daughters. Their uncle had taken everything their martyred father left. Everything. Then the verses of inheritance were revealed, and the Prophet (PBUH) ruled: two-thirds to the daughters, one-eighth to their mother, the remainder to the uncle. (Tirmidhi 2092 — graded hasan sahih) Fourteen centuries later, I sat in an Ilm-ul-Faraid lecture — and I was struck by two things. First, as an engineer: this is one of the most precise rule systems I have ever encountered. - Fixed shares. - Precedence rules. - Blocking conditions (hajb). - Edge cases within edge cases. - A granddaughter inherits in one configuration and is blocked in another — and the difference can be a single surviving relative. Second, as a member of this society: how many granddaughters, sisters, and half-sisters have no idea what their share is, or in which cases they inherit at all? A right that is not understood is easily overlooked. The Qur'an calls these shares فريضةً من الله — an obligation decreed by Allah (4:11), and describes them as حدود الله — the limits set by Allah (4:13-14). Allah did not leave inheritance to custom or goodwill. He calculated it Himself. So I did the one thing I know how to do with a complex rule system: I built software around it. Mirath Guide is a guided Islamic inheritance calculator. Instead of a long confusing form, it asks one relevant question at a time — the way a scholar would. Then it shows the shares, who inherits, who is blocked, and why. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dpvbPiG2 It follows the Hanafi methodology for now, requires no login, and is an educational tool — not a replacement for a qualified Mufti. I am a student of this knowledge, not a scholar of it, and the tool is currently under review by teachers and fellow students. Try it with your own family's structure. If you find a mistake, tell me — every correction makes it more reliable for the next person. Because inheritance calculations should not end with a fraction. They should explain the rule, the reasoning, and the responsibility behind it. #BuildInPublic #IslamicInheritance #IlmUlFaraid #LegalTech #MuslimTech
