The subject matter concerns a tool designed to compute the distribution of assets according to Islamic inheritance laws. These laws, derived from the Quran and Sunnah, prescribe specific shares for eligible heirs based on their relationship to the deceased. This computational instrument automates the complex calculations involved, taking into account various factors such as the number and type of surviving relatives (e.g., spouse, children, parents, siblings) and any bequests made within permissible limits.
The significance of such an instrument lies in its ability to facilitate the equitable and religiously compliant distribution of an estate. Historically, these calculations were performed manually, requiring specialized knowledge and were prone to errors. This automated tool provides a more efficient and accurate solution, reducing disputes among heirs and ensuring adherence to the principles of Islamic jurisprudence. Moreover, it allows for greater transparency in the inheritance process.
