From an heir description to a clear, saveable result

Start with a plain-language description through AI Brain or enter the heirs manually, review what was understood, then complete the safety check before the exact engine calculates shares.

Describe the heirs in your own words (beta)

The optional feature sends your description to DeepSeek after masking IDs, phone numbers, email addresses, IBANs, and recognizable numeric currency or estate amounts. Masking cannot reliably detect names or amounts written in words. Do not enter names, amounts, or dispute details. It extracts heir types and counts only; manual entry stays on your device.

I understand what will be sent and consent to this description being processed through DeepSeek. I can use manual entry instead.

An estimate based on the fara'id rules and the Personal Status Law (M/73) — not a court ruling or legal advice. For a binding division use Najiz or a specialist, and compare with the Ministry of Justice calculator.

Heirs' inventory via Najiz Ministry of Justice inheritance calculator

Manual calculation and results stay on your device and are not stored or sent to analytics. If selected, conversational entry sends your scrubbed description to DeepSeek with explicit consent; explanation sends the deceased's sex plus heir types and counts to Hala Law for recomputation, then only heir enums and exact fractions to DeepSeek.

The short answer

The inheritance calculator estimates each heir's Sharia share under the fara'id rules and the Personal Status Law (M/73). Its estate fields currently deduct entered funeral costs and debts; the bequest path is contained pending credentialed review and is not calculated. The result is an estimate and independent verification by a credentialed Sharia reviewer is still in progress; for a binding heirs' inventory or division, use Najiz and the courts.[1][2]

How the inheritance calculator works

The tool above computes each heir's Sharia share (fara'id) under the fara'id rules and the Personal Status Law issued by Royal Decree M/73. Manual entry, calculation, and the deterministic explanation stay on your device. The optional hosted paths are available: the text parser sends a scrubbed description to DeepSeek for processing outside the Kingdom only after your explicit consent, while the explanation planner sends the deceased's sex plus heir types and counts to Hala Law for recomputation and only heir enums and exact fractions to DeepSeek for ordering. Neither path calculates a share — the parser's output remains a draft until you confirm it, and the planner may only reorder rows the on-device engine has already computed. Manual entry makes no network call at all. The result is an estimate for guidance to be compared against the official calculator. Source 1 Source 2

Order of claims on the estate

Before inheritance is divided, claims are settled in order (arts 197–198): funeral costs, then debts, then a bequest up to one third (arts 190–191), and the remainder is divided among the heirs. The current estate fields deduct entered funeral costs and debts only. The bequest path is unavailable pending credentialed review; if a bequest exists, do not treat the displayed net amount as a completed estate calculation. Source 3

The fixed shares

There are six fixed shares: a half, a quarter, an eighth, two-thirds, a third and a sixth. For example: Source 4

Husband: a half with no descendant heir, a quarter with one (art 209). Source 5
Wife or wives: a quarter with no descendant heir, an eighth with one, split equally (art 210). Source 6
Daughter: a half for one, two-thirds for two or more, becoming residuary with a son "the male takes twice the female's share" (art 215). Source 7
Mother: a sixth with a descendant heir or multiple siblings, otherwise a third — with the two special "Umariyyatan" cases alongside the father and a spouse. Source 8

Awl and radd

Awl: when the fixed shares exceed the whole, every share is reduced proportionally (a base of six "raised" to seven, for instance). Source 9
Radd: when the fixed shares fall short and there is no residuary, the surplus is returned to the fixed-share heirs, excluding a spouse. Source 10

Cases sent to a specialist

Some cases involve genuine juristic disagreement or need a finding of fact, so the tool marks them as "needs a specialist" rather than giving a number that could be wrong, including: Source 11

A grandfather with siblings (full or paternal), and the mushtaraka (himariyya) case. Source 12
An expected child, a missing heir, an intersex heir, or an impediment to inheritance such as killing or difference of religion. Source 13

For a formal division

To obtain an heirs' inventory deed or a formal division of the estate, the competent channel is Najiz and the courts, and the figures can be compared against the Ministry of Justice inheritance calculator. This tool is for guidance and does not replace them. Source 14

Frequently asked questions

Is this a substitute for the official heirs' inventory?

No — it is an estimate for guidance. The heirs' inventory deed and the formal division of the estate are issued through Najiz and the courts, and the figures can be compared against the Ministry of Justice inheritance calculator.[2]

Why do some cases show as needing a specialist?

Because they are subject to genuine juristic disagreement or require a judicial finding — such as a grandfather with siblings, the mushtaraka case, or an expected child, missing heir, intersex heir, or impediment to inheritance. In those cases the tool avoids giving a number that could be wrong.[1]

How are debts and a bequest deducted before division?

Funeral costs are removed first, then debts, then a bequest capped at one third of the remainder (arts 190–191), and the net estate is then divided among the heirs. The tool currently deducts entered funeral costs and debts only; it does not calculate a bequest case pending credentialed review.[1]

Change log

2026-07-07Launched under Sharia review — the calculation engine is documented with fara'id conformance tests at full coverage.
2026-07-08Owner-attested review recorded; independent credentialed verification remained pending.
2026-07-10Added explicit consent before text parsing, a confirmation draft before calculation, and a local zero-model explanation.
2026-07-10Returned to review pending credentialed Sharia sign-off, Ministry-calculator cross-checks, pinned M/73 bases, and review of the bequest path.
2026-07-23Published under a recorded owner authorization after completing the 16 exact-fraction golden cases; independent credentialed Sharia review remains in progress and the bequest path stays contained.
2026-07-30Activated the two optional hosted paths under a recorded owner authorization: free text into an heir draft you confirm yourself, and explanation row ordering. The model computes and changes no share, and the credentialed Sharia review remains in progress.
