For scholars and madrassas
FairShare for scholars, imams and madrassas
For people who answer inheritance questions in class, at the mosque or in private consultations. Use it to teach, to help settle a disagreement, or to check an answer.
How people use it
- Teaching Fara'id. Set up any family and let students follow the step-by-step explanation of each share: the fixed shares first, then 'awl or radd, then the residue.
- Answering questions. When someone asks after prayer "what do two daughters and a wife get?", you can work it out in seconds with the verse reference in front of you.
- Mediating disputes. When a family disagrees about which madhab applies, the compare view shows exactly where the schools differ. You don't have to work out four scenarios by hand.
What's included
- Five columns for one family. General, Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali results sit next to each other. Named edge cases (Umariatan, Musharakah, the grandfather with siblings) are flagged where they apply.
- Quranic citations. Every fixed share links to the verse in Surah An-Nisa that sets it (4:11, 4:12, 4:176).
- A plain-language summary. Each result comes with a short paragraph that explains the outcome without jargon. It helps when you're talking with a grieving family.
- PDFs with your name on them. If you teach at a madrassa or run a fatwa service, your logo, letterhead and disclaimer go on every export.
- English and Arabic. Full right-to-left support, with Arabic set in Noto Naskh.
The engine
The calculator is a TypeScript port of the Swift package behind the iOS app. It uses exact fractions (BigInt), runs entirely in your browser, and is tested against a set of classical cases that includes all the named edge cases. The methodology pages go through each madhab's rulings in detail.
Who it's for
Imams, muftis who take consultations, scholars who work on inheritance questions, and madrassas that teach Fara'id. We offer institutional pricing, so get in touch if you need licenses for a madrassa.
