Schools of thought (madhabs)
Hanbali inheritance
Followed across the Arabian peninsula. On most contested cases it sides with Shafi'i and Maliki rather than Hanafi.
The Hanbali school is the official school of Saudi Arabia and dominant across the Arabian peninsula. On the contested cases its inheritance rulings almost always match Shafi'i and Maliki rather than Hanafi.
Where Hanbali stands
Hanbali agrees with Maliki and Shafi'i on:
- Allowing full siblings into the Musharakah share with maternal half-siblings.
- Letting the grandfather share with siblings rather than blocking them.
- Applying Radd when the estate has no residuary heir.
Hanbali sometimes differs from the other two on technical sub-rules in the grandfather case (exactly how to choose between 1/3, the sibling share, and 1/6), but the results are usually the same in practice.
What it has in common with the others
The six fixed fractions, blocking, Awl, and Umariatan all work the standard way.
