Dear Madam Meenashi

No share for the sister in Sunni law of inheritence when the deceased has got a son and daughter. Please let us know whether the deceased has got only one wife.

Dear Meenakshi,
 
As per Quran in Surah " Annis"  ( Sura No: 4) Ayath No: 7,   a share is provided to Women also, Please read English Translation of particular Ayat.  
  

لِلرِّجَالِ نَصِیۡبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَکَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَالۡاَقْرَبُوۡنَ ۪ وَلِلنِّسَآءِ نَصِیۡبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَکَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَالۡاَقْرَبُوۡنَ مِمَّا قَلَّ مِنْہُ اَوْکَثُرَ ؕ نَصِیۡبًا مَّفْرُوۡضًا ﴿۷﴾

مردوں کے لئے حصہ ہے اس میں سے جو چھوڑ گئے ماں باپ اور قرابت والے اور عورتوں کے لئے حصہ ہے اس میں سے جو چھوڑ گئے ماں باپ اور قرابت والے ترکہ تھوڑا ہو یا بہت حصہ ہے اندازہ باندھا ہوا (ف۱۷)

 
" For men there is share in what their parents and relatives have left behind, and for women there is share in what their parents and relatives have left behind, be the bequest little or be it much, it is a share estimated, determined. "
 
For Mr. Imtiyaz Kindly Read Page Nos: 324 to 330  the Tafheem-ul-Quran

یُوۡصِیۡکُمُ اللہُ فِیۡۤ اَوْلَادِکُمْ ٭ لِلذَّکَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الۡاُنۡثَیَیۡنِ ۚ فَاِنۡ کُنَّ نِسَآءً فَوْقَ اثْنَتَیۡنِ فَلَہُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَکَ ۚ وَ اِنۡ کَانَتْ وَاحِدَۃً فَلَہَا النِّصْفُ ؕ وَ لِاَبَوَیۡہِ لِکُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْہُمَا السُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَکَ اِنۡ کَانَ لَہٗ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنۡ لَّمْ یَکُنۡ لَّہٗ وَلَدٌ وَّوَرِثَہٗۤ اَبَوٰہُ فَلِاُمِّہِ الثُّلُثُ ۚ فَاِنۡ کَانَ لَہٗۤ اِخْوَۃٌ فَلِاُمِّہِ السُّدُسُ مِنۡۢ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّۃٍ یُّوۡصِیۡ بِہَاۤ اَوْدَیۡنٍ ؕ اٰبَآؤُکُمْ وَاَبۡنَاؤُکُمْ لَا تَدْرُوۡنَ اَیُّہُمْ اَقْرَبُ لَکُمْ نَفْعًا ؕ فَرِیۡضَۃً مِّنَ اللہِ ؕ اِنَّ اللہَ کَانَ عَلِیۡمًا حَکِیۡمًا ﴿۱۱﴾

 

Allah commands you concerning your children:
 
(a)  the share of male is equal to the share of two females;
 
(b)  then if there be daughters only, though more than two, then for them is two third of what is left,
 
(c)  and if there be only one daughter, for her is one half.
 
(d) And for each of the parents of the deceased is one sixth (1/6) of what is left,
 
(e) if there be a child of the deceased, but if he has no child and leaves parents, then for the mother is one third;
 
(f) but if there be his many sisters and brothers, then for the mother is one sixth,
 
(g) after any bequest which has been made and debts.
 
Your fathers and your sons, you know not which of them will be more profitable to you.
 
This is fixed proportion from Allah. Undoubtedly Allah is All Knowing, Wise.
