Question:
[Surat al-Nisa:12] What is kalalah?
Answer:
It is the one who has no child and no parent; he has no father, no children, and no descendants. This is kalalah. He dies leaving brothers, or uncles, or other residuary male heirs, having no descendants, no father, and no grandfather.
And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child. But if they have a child, for you is one fourth of what they leave, after any bequest they [may have] made or debt. And for the wives is one fourth if you leave no child. But if you leave a child, then for them is an eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt. And if a man or woman leaves neither ascendants nor descendants but has a brother or a sister, then for each one of them is a sixth. But if they are more than two, they share a third, after any bequest which was made or debt, as long as there is no detriment [caused]. [This is] an ordinance from Allah, and Allah is Knowing and Forbearing.
