Chapter on the Inheritance of Direct Offspring and Parents

"Scroll of Inheritance Shares," which was dictated by the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) and written by Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) in his own handwriting. In it, I found the following rulings: "A man who leaves behind a daughter and his mother: the daughter receives half of the inheritance, and the mother receives one-sixth. The wealth is divided into four shares - three shares go to the daughter and one share to the mother. If a man leaves behind a daughter and both of his parents: the daughter receives half (three shares), and each of the parents receives one-sixth. The wealth is divided into five shares - three shares for the daughter and two shares for the parents. If a man leaves behind a daughter and his father: the daughter receives half, and the father receives one share. The wealth is divided into four shares - three shares for the daughter and one share for the father. If a man leaves behind both parents, a son, and a daughter or sons and daughters, then the parents each receive one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the sons and daughters with the male receiving the share of two females. If a man leaves behind a son and both parents, then each parent receives one-sixth of the inheritance, and the remainder belongs to the son. If a man leaves behind a mother and a son, the mother receives one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the son. If a man leaves behind a father and a son, the father receives one-sixth, and the remainder belongs to the son. If a man leaves behind a mother along with sons and daughters, the mother receives one-sixth, and the remainder is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. If he leaves behind a father along with sons and daughters, the father receives one-sixth, and the remainder is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females."
