11. 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.
For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to each, if the deceased left
children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a
third; if the deceased Left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth. (The
distribution in all cases ('s) after the payment of legacies and debts. Ye know
not whether 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.
12. In what your wives leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but
if they leave a child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In
what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a
child, they get an eighth; after payment of legacies and debts. If the man or
woman whose inheritance is in question, has left neither ascendants nor
descendants, but has left a brother or a sister, each one of the two gets a
sixth; but if more than two, they share in a third; after payment of legacies
and debts; so that no loss is caused (to any one). Thus is it ordained by Allah.
and Allah is All-knowing, Most Forbearing.
13. Those are limits set by Allah. those who obey Allah and His Messenger will
be admitted to Gardens with rivers flowing beneath, to abide therein (for ever)
and that will be the supreme achievement.
14. But those who disobey Allah and His Messenger and transgress His limits will
be admitted to a Fire, to abide therein: And they shall have a humiliating
punishment.
15. If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four
(Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine
them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other)
way.
16. If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they
repent and amend, Leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning, Most Merciful!
