حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: أَلْحِقُوا الْفَرَائِضَ بِأَهْلِهَا، فَمَا بَقِيَ فَهُوَ لأَوْلَى رَجُلٍ ذَكَرٍ.
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Give the Farâ'id (the shares of the inheritance that are prescribed in the Qur'ân) [1] to those who are entitled to receive it. Then whatever remains, should be given to the closest male relative of the deceased." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 724, Vol. 8)
[1] Farâ'id means the shares which are fixed for the closest relatives of the deceased. Such shares are prescribed in the Qur'ân, and it is: one-half, one-fourth, one-eighth, two-third, one-third, and one-sixth. (See the Qur'ân, Sûrah 4, Verses 11, 12 and 176).
