What is inheritance law in Islam if i die leaving only wife ?

Hi All,



In Islam, if i die leaving only my wife and my parents and 2 siblings (female sisters)



What is the inheritance law and how will my wealth be divided ? My assets are in Cash.What is inheritance law in Islam if i die leaving only wife ?
Qur'an 4.11: Allah enjoins you concerning your children: The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females; then if they are more than two females, they shall have two-thirds of what the deceased has left, and if there is one, she shall have the half; and as for his parents, each of them shall have the sixth of what he has left if he has a child, but if he has no child and (only) his two parents inherit him, then his mother shall have the third; but if he has brothers, then his mother shall have the sixth after (the payment of) a bequest he may have bequeathed or a debt; your parents and your children, you know not which of them is the nearer to you in usefulness; this is an ordinance from Allah: Surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.

Qur'an 4.12: And you shall have half of what your wives leave if they have no child, but if they have a child, then you shall have a fourth of what they leave after (payment of) any bequest they may have bequeathed or a debt; and they shall have the fourth of what you leave if you have no child, but if you have a child then they shall have the eighth of what you leave after (payment of) a bequest you may have bequeathed or a debt; and if a man or a woman leaves property to be inherited by neither parents nor offspring, and he (or she) has a brother or a sister, then each of them two shall have the sixth, but if they are more than that, they shall be sharers in the third after (payment of) any bequest that may have been bequeathed or a debt that does not harm (others); this is an ordinance from Allah: and Allah is Knowing, Forbearing.

Qur'an 4.176: They ask you for a decision of the law. Say: Allah gives you a decision concerning the person who has neither parents nor offspring; if a man dies (and) he has no son and he has a sister, she shall have half of what he leaves, and he shall be her heir she has no son; but if there be two (sisters), they shall have two-thirds of what he leaves; and if there are brethren, men and women, then the male shall have the like of the portion of two females; Allah makes clear to you, lest you err; and Allah knows all things.

Qur'an 2.240: And those of you who die and leave wives behind, (make) a bequest in favor of their wives of maintenance for a year without turning (them) out, then if they themselves go away, there is no blame on you for what they do of lawful deeds by themselves, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

This last ayat says she gets just a years maintenance and must leave the house, too.

Then, question is, where does all the money and land etc go?

.
Actually, even your parents and sisters get zilch.



From what I got to know, it goes to the Wakf !?



Sure sucks!



If you want to give everything to your wife, transfer it while you are still alive.

His wife, the husband inherits half of the left if you do not have a child, and with the child inherits the quarter, albeit from another; and inherit from her husband, the wife left him fourth if he has no son, and with the child inherits the price, though others. This, there is no difference in blocking the boy both spouses share the highest among the direct and the boy was born a child no matter how down.
She gets everything, she re-marries, then he dies and leaves it outside your family.

Wife takes 3/17, Father 2/17, Mother 4/17, each sister 4/17

Half goes to the wife
