11. God (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 God; and God is All-knowing, Al- wise.
