The Holy Quran 4:33 — Surah An-Nisa

Arabic text

وَلِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مَوَٰلِىَ مِمَّا تَرَكَ ٱلْوَٰلِدَانِ وَٱلْأَقْرَبُونَ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ عَقَدَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُكُمْ فَـَٔاتُوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدًا

Translation

For each (man and woman) We have appointed heirs for that (inheritance) which parents and relatives leave. Give their shares (of inheritance) to those with whom you have made a pledge (a pledge that they will receive a share of your estate. Such people may inherit if there are no heirs. They are also entitled to bequests made in their names from one-third of the estate). Verily Allaah is Witness over everything (nothing is hidden from Allaah).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Give the heirs of the deceased their right: that is, O Muslims, for each of you, whether man or woman, We have appointed heirs to the wealth that parents and relatives leave behind when they die; We have not deprived anyone of it. And those with whom you have made a pact, be sure to give them their share.
