4:7

لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ ٱلْوَٰلِدَانِ وَٱلْأَقْرَبُونَ وَلِلنِّسَآءِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ ٱلْوَٰلِدَانِ وَٱلْأَقْرَبُونَ مِمَّا قَلَّ مِنْهُ أَوْ كَثُرَ  ۚ نَصِيبًا مَّفْرُوضًا

лир-риджəəли нəсыыбумм-миммəə тəрōкəль-вəəлидəəни вəəль`əќрōбуунə вəлин-нисəə`и нəсыыбумм-миммəə тəрōкəль-вəəлидəəни вəəль`əќрōбуунə миммəə ќōльлə минhу əу кəc̃ур, нəсыыбəмм-мəфруудō

Men have a share in the heritage left by parents and near relatives, and women have a share in the heritage left by parents and near relatives, whether it be little or much, a share ordained [by Allah].

4:8

وَإِذَا حَضَرَ ٱلْقِسْمَةَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَٰكِينُ فَٱرْزُقُوهُم مِّنْهُ وَقُولُواْ لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا

вə`из̃əə həдōрōль-ќисмəтə уулююль-ќурбəə вəəльйəтəəмəə вəəльмəсəəкиину фəəрзуќууhум-минhу вəќуулюю лəhум ќōулəмм-мə'рууфə

And when the division is attended by relatives, the orphans and the needy, provide for them out of it, and speak to them honourable words.

4:9

وَلْيَخْشَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَوْ تَرَكُواْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّةً ضِعَٰفًا خَافُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلْيَتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلْيَقُولُواْ قَوْلًا سَدِيدًا

вəльйəхшəль-лəз̃иинə лəу тəрōкуу мин хōльфиhим з̃урриййəтəн ды'əəфəн хōōфуу 'əлэйhим фəльйəттəќуул-лаhə вəльйəќуулюю ќōулəн сəдиидə

Let those fear [the result of mistreating orphans] who, were they to leave behind weak offspring, would be concerned on their account. So let them be wary of Allah, and let them speak upright words.

4:10

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَٰلَ ٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰ ظُلْمًا إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُونَ فِى بُطُونِهِمْ نَارًا  ۖ وَسَيَصْلَوْنَ سَعِيرًا

иннəль-лəз̃иинə йə`кулююнə əмвəəлəль-йəтəəмəə з̃ульмəн иннəмəə йə`кулююнə фии бутууниhим нəəрō, вəсəйəслəунə сə'иирō

Indeed those who consume the property of orphans wrongfully, only ingest fire into their bellies, and soon they will enter the Blaze.

4:11

يُوصِيكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِىٓ أَوْلَٰدِكُمْ  ۖ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ ٱلْأُنثَيَيْنِ  ۚ فَإِن كُنَّ نِسَآءً فَوْقَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَكَ  ۖ وَإِن كَانَتْ وَٰحِدَةً فَلَهَا ٱلنِّصْفُ  ۚ وَلِأَبَوَيْهِ لِكُلِّ وَٰحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا ٱلسُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ إِن كَانَ لَهُۥ وَلَدٌ  ۚ فَإِن لَّمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ وَلَدٌ وَوَرِثَهُۥٓ أَبَوَاهُ فَلِأُمِّهِ ٱلثُّلُثُ  ۚ فَإِن كَانَ لَهُۥٓ إِخْوَةٌ فَلِأُمِّهِ ٱلسُّدُسُ  ۚ مِنۢ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصِى بِهَآ أَوْ دَيْنٍ  ۗ ءَابَآؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَآؤُكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ أَيُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ لَكُمْ نَفْعًا  ۚ فَرِيضَةً مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ  ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا

Allah enjoins you concerning your children: for the male shall be the like of the share of two females, and if there be [two or] more than two females, then for them shall be two-thirds of what he leaves; but if she be alone, then for her shall be a half; and for each of his parents a sixth of what he leaves, if he has children; but if he has no children, and his parents are his [sole] heirs, then it shall be a third for his mother; but if he has brothers, then a sixth for his mother, after [paying off] any bequest he may have made or any debt [he may have incurred]. Your parents and your children—you do not know which of them is likelier to be beneficial for you. This is an ordinance from Allah. Indeed Allah is all-knowing, all-wise.
