They ask thee for a pronouncement. Say! Allaah hath pronounced for you
concerning distant kindred. If a man die childless and he have a sister, hers
is half the heritage, and he would have inherited from her had she died
childless. And if there be two sisters, then theirs are two-thirds of the
heritage, and if they be brethren, men and women, unto the male is the
equivalent of the share of two females. Allaah
expoundeth unto you, so that ye err not. And Allaah is Knower of all things.

Lesson
Kalaalah – (infirm and feeble), here this verse signifies
towards a person, who has only brothers and sisters, and does not have either father
or children.
Tazilluu – (you err), this word has been
derived from the word zalaalat, which
means ‘error’, but there is such a situation in this composition that the
people, who know Arabic language, understand the word “no” or “not” with it.
Therefore it means “Do not err” or “You err not”.
It has been replied in this verse
about the question, “If any dead person had only own or step brothers and
sisters, and had not either father or son, then what portion of hereditary
would they get”? Brothers and sisters are of three types. Own brothers and sisters, those, who
have same father and mother, are called ‘ainii. Step-brothers
and sisters, who are brothers and sisters due to father only, are called ‘alaatii and the Brothers or sisters by the same
mother but by a different father are called ‘akhyaafii. For
further detail about Kalaalah please
review Lesson # 480 Verse 12a of this chapter.
Allaah Almighty expounds that if there is no heir
of the dead person, other than brother and sister, then the hereditary will be
given to them as explained:
1. If the heir is only one sister, she will be
given half from the entire hereditary of her dead brother’s wealth. That is to
say; if the dead person does not have father or son, then portion from the
hereditary of her brother for her is equal to a daughter.
2. If the sister has died and the heir is only a
brother, he will be given entire wealth of his sister.
3. If the dead brother left two or more sisters
living behind, they all will get two-thirds of the total hereditary.
4. If the heirs are many mixed brothers and
sisters, then entire wealth will be distributed in to them with the ratio that
each male will be given double from each female.
Allaah Almighty pronounces these points so that you
may be saved from error and be not confused at the time of distress.
