وَابتَلُوا اليَتامىٰ حَتّىٰ إِذا بَلَغُوا النِّكاحَ فَإِن آنَستُم مِنهُم رُشدًا فَادفَعوا إِلَيهِم أَموالَهُم ۖ وَلا تَأكُلوها إِسرافًا وَبِدارًا أَن يَكبَروا ۚ وَمَن كانَ غَنِيًّا فَليَستَعفِف ۖ وَمَن كانَ فَقيرًا فَليَأكُل بِالمَعروفِ ۚ فَإِذا دَفَعتُم إِلَيهِم أَموالَهُم فَأَشهِدوا عَلَيهِم ۚ وَكَفىٰ بِاللَّهِ حَسيبًا
And test the orphans until they reach the age of marriage. If you find them to be of good judgment, release their wealth to them. Don’t consume it wastefully and hastily before they grow up. Whoever is well-off, let him abstain; whoever is poor, let him consume reasonably. When you hand over their properties to them, call witnesses. God is sufficient as a Reckoner.
لِلرِّجالِ نَصيبٌ مِمّا تَرَكَ الوالِدانِ وَالأَقرَبونَ وَلِلنِّساءِ نَصيبٌ مِمّا تَرَكَ الوالِدانِ وَالأَقرَبونَ مِمّا قَلَّ مِنهُ أَو كَثُرَ ۚ نَصيبًا مَفروضًا
Men have a share in what parents and close relatives leave behind, and women have a share in what parents and relatives leave behind, be it little or much—a prescribed share.
وَإِذا حَضَرَ القِسمَةَ أُولُو القُربىٰ وَاليَتامىٰ وَالمَساكينُ فَارزُقوهُم مِنهُ وَقولوا لَهُم قَولًا مَعروفًا
When relatives, orphans, and those in need are present at the distribution, give them something from it, and speak kindly to them.
وَليَخشَ الَّذينَ لَو تَرَكوا مِن خَلفِهِم ذُرِّيَّةً ضِعافًا خافوا عَلَيهِم فَليَتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَليَقولوا قَولًا سَديدًا
Those who worry about leaving behind weak offspring should fear God and say correct words.
إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَأكُلونَ أَموالَ اليَتامىٰ ظُلمًا إِنَّما يَأكُلونَ في بُطونِهِم نارًا ۖ وَسَيَصلَونَ سَعيرًا
Those who consume the wealth of orphans unjustly, are only ingesting fire into their bellies, and they will be subjected to a blazing Hellfire.
يوصيكُمُ اللَّهُ في أَولادِكُم ۖ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثلُ حَظِّ الأُنثَيَينِ ۚ فَإِن كُنَّ نِساءً فَوقَ اثنَتَينِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثا ما تَرَكَ ۖ وَإِن كانَت واحِدَةً فَلَهَا النِّصفُ ۚ وَلِأَبَوَيهِ لِكُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنهُمَا السُّدُسُ مِمّا تَرَكَ إِن كانَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَإِن لَم يَكُن لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَوَرِثَهُ أَبَواهُ فَلِأُمِّهِ الثُّلُثُ ۚ فَإِن كانَ لَهُ إِخوَةٌ فَلِأُمِّهِ السُّدُسُ ۚ مِن بَعدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يوصي بِها أَو دَينٍ ۗ آباؤُكُم وَأَبناؤُكُم لا تَدرونَ أَيُّهُم أَقرَبُ لَكُم نَفعًا ۚ فَريضَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَليمًا حَكيمًا
God instructs you regarding your children: for a male, the share is equivalent to that of two females. If there are more than two daughters, they get two-thirds of what he leaves behind. If there is only one daughter, she gets half. As for the parents, each gets one-sixth of what he leaves behind if he had a child. If he had no children and his parents are the sole inheritors, his mother gets a third. But if he had brothers and sisters, then, his mother will get a sixth. This is after fulfilling any will or debt. You don’t know whether your parents or children are closer to you in benefit. These are God’s decrees. God is ever Knowing and Wise.
وَلَكُم نِصفُ ما تَرَكَ أَزواجُكُم إِن لَم يَكُن لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَإِن كانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَلَكُمُ الرُّبُعُ مِمّا تَرَكنَ ۚ مِن بَعدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يوصينَ بِها أَو دَينٍ ۚ وَلَهُنَّ الرُّبُعُ مِمّا تَرَكتُم إِن لَم يَكُن لَكُم وَلَدٌ ۚ فَإِن كانَ لَكُم وَلَدٌ فَلَهُنَّ الثُّمُنُ مِمّا تَرَكتُم ۚ مِن بَعدِ وَصِيَّةٍ توصونَ بِها أَو دَينٍ ۗ وَإِن كانَ رَجُلٌ يورَثُ كَلالَةً أَوِ امرَأَةٌ وَلَهُ أَخٌ أَو أُختٌ فَلِكُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنهُمَا السُّدُسُ ۚ فَإِن كانوا أَكثَرَ مِن ذٰلِكَ فَهُم شُرَكاءُ فِي الثُّلُثِ ۚ مِن بَعدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يوصىٰ بِها أَو دَينٍ غَيرَ مُضارٍّ ۚ وَصِيَّةً مِنَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَليمٌ
You get half of what your wives leave behind, if they had no children. If they had children, you get one-fourth of what they leave behind, after fulfilling any will or debt. They get a fourth of what you leave behind if you have no children. If you have children, they get one-eighth of what you leave behind, after fulfilling any will or debt. If a man or woman leaves neither parents nor children, but has a brother or sister, each of them gets a sixth. If there are more siblings, they share a third, after fulfilling any will or debt. Without causing harm. A command from God. And God is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
تِلكَ حُدودُ اللَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ يُدخِلهُ جَنّاتٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ خالِدينَ فيها ۚ وَذٰلِكَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ
These are the limits set by God. Whoever obeys God and His Messenger, He will admit him into gardens through which rivers flow, to dwell there eternally. That is the supreme triumph.
وَمَن يَعصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ وَيَتَعَدَّ حُدودَهُ يُدخِلهُ نارًا خالِدًا فيها وَلَهُ عَذابٌ مُهينٌ
However, whoever disobeys God and His Messenger, and transgresses His limits, will be thrown into a Fire, where he will dwell forever, and he will have a humiliating punishment.
وَاللّاتي يَأتينَ الفاحِشَةَ مِن نِسائِكُم فَاستَشهِدوا عَلَيهِنَّ أَربَعَةً مِنكُم ۖ فَإِن شَهِدوا فَأَمسِكوهُنَّ فِي البُيوتِ حَتّىٰ يَتَوَفّاهُنَّ المَوتُ أَو يَجعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُنَّ سَبيلًا
If any of your women commit an immoral act, call upon four witnesses from among you against them. If they testify, confine them to the houses until death claims them, or God makes a way for them.
وَاللَّذانِ يَأتِيانِها مِنكُم فَآذوهُما ۖ فَإِن تابا وَأَصلَحا فَأَعرِضوا عَنهُما ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ تَوّابًا رَحيمًا
If two men among you commit it, then punish them. However, if they repent and reform, leave them alone. God is Accepting of Repentance, Most Merciful.
