QUESTION:

Please provide information about the distribution of the wealth and
estate after the death of a person. Is will necessary or not?
1)	How much to the wife
2)	How much to the boys
3)	How much to the girls.
	And what else has to distribute.

ANSWER:

The distribution of an estate varies according to the heirs and testators.

However, in normal circunstances, wife inherits 1/8th of the estate if
there are children and 1/4th is there are no children.

The remaining estate, when distributed will devolve any sons and daughters
on the ratio of 2:1.  For full details please refer to ISLAMIC LAWS of
ayatullah Seestani.

With Salaams,
