4:11 Allah directs you as regards your children's (Inheritance): to the male a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or
more, Their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her, share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to
each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers
the mother has a sixth, 4:12 In what your wives leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave a child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they get an eighth; after payment. 4:176 If it is a man that dies, leaving a sister but no child, she shall have half the inheritance: If a woman dies and leaves no child, her brother takes her inheritance: If there are two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance. If there are brothers and sisters, the male takes twice the share of the female.

The most common quoted issue which has been documented over and over and having actually have happened in Islamic law is the following:

A man dies and leaves behind three daughters, two parents and his wife.

The three daughters together will receive 2/3 of the share, the parents will receive 1/3 of the share and the wife will receive 1/8 of the share.

Do the math: 2/3 + 1/3 + 1/8 = 9/8 = 1.125. This shows that the distribution of property was devised by a person who had no real grasp of math. Since God is perfect and knows more math than any math genius on Earth why is this error there or allowed to happen?

Another problem: A man dies and leaves behind his mother, his wife and two sisters.

The mother will receive 1/3 of the property, the wife will receive 1/4 of the property and the sisters will receive 2/3 of the property.

Do the math: 1/3 + 2/3 + 1/4 = 5/4 = 1.25. This is not an isolated problem there are many examples. The hadiths gained in used to solve the problems of these errors over the literal words of Muhammad.

Why is this such a problem and not from God?
Simple Muhammad was making things up as he went. As an illiterate, he had no concept of how to add fractions which was not challenged by his followers who were for the most part also illiterate and why many islamic countries pride themselves to keep many of their people illiterate to prevent them from realizing the errors of Muhammad the false liar and a pagan of the first order leading brain washed idiots into death and destruction.

I'm sure there is a completely rational explanation for the bad math. I can't think of one but.....
Maybe God included the tithing thing. Yes that's it.
Obviously there are many items in the Quran, that would show it's not inspired from a loving God. But in fairness in the Old Testament is the same way.

Vow,you are a good learner and i think well educated.
But the problem is why don't you ask that kind of question without offending?
Actually you even don't know the law of Shariah and so proud of yourself.
Why are you so worry about Islamic Law?
If you agree or not the Holy Quran can never be changed for some idiots.

I agree with you. Do not listen to these others. There is only one God. He is not 'allah', His son is not muhammed. His Son was tortured on the cross for the sins of humanity. Even the sins of the muslims.

With regard to your question, Dr. Monzer Kahf, a prominent Muslim economist and counselor, answers:

In inheritance, there are two groups of heirs. A share group (called As-hab Al-Fara’id) and a residual group (called As-hab Al-‘Asabah). The shares are given in their general forms as 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 and the distribution of residual is given as a formula of “a male having twice as much as a female.”

The application of these principles is left to the human intelligence as it always depends on the number of heirs and their relationship to the deceased. In most actual cases there are heirs of the two groups. There are also several cases where the total of shares adds to more (or less) than one. These cases cannot be considered as mistakes because the distribution remains in the same proportion of the shares as given in the Qur’an. The cases that add to more than one are known in Fiqh as cases of “`Awl” which means “reverting to”. In other words, these cases revert to a distribution that maintains the same internal proportions of the given shares although they add up to more than one. It works as in the following examples:

Husband + 2 daughters + one parent: 1/4+2/3+1/6=13/12, shares are distributed out of 13;

Husband + 2 daughters + two parents: 1/4+2/3+1/6+1/6=15/12, shares are distributed out of 15;

Husband + 2 sisters + mother: 1/2+2/3+1/6=8/6, shares are distributed out of 8;

Husband + 2 sisters: 1/2+2/3=7/6, shares are distributed out of 7;

Wife + 2 daughters + two parents: 1/8+2/3+1/6+1/6=9/8, shares are distributed out of 9.

By the same token, human intelligence also works in cases that add up to less than one. This is known in our Fiqh as cases of “Radd” which literally means “rendering” as in the following examples:

One daughter (or one sister) only, alone with no other heirs: 1/2. Remaining 1/2 is rendered back to her;

Two daughters (or sisters) only: 2/3. Remaining 1/3 is rendered back to them;

Wife + 2 sisters + mother: 1/8+2/3+1/6=23/24, (by the way, you quoted this example wrong because when there are sisters mother takes only 1/6 as indicated in 4:11) the remainder is distributed to sisters and mother in the same proportion, no rendering to either husband or wife;

Mother alone, and mother with daughter(s) (or sisters) only, there is always a remainder of two third, one third or one sixth, it is rendered to them proportionally.

These examples indicate that the issue is not a matter of mistakes, but of giving the principles and leaving the numerous details to human intelligence. Only those who are not satisfied by getting principles only and do not want to use human intelligence may think of errors or mistakes!
