09 — Verse 12 Case Studies (2 cases)

Two kalalah cases whose heirs are governed by An-Nisa 12: a spouse and maternal half-siblings — the track that treats men and women equally.

Case C — A husband and two maternal half-siblings

Scenario. A woman dies with no child and no father (kalalah), leaving a husband, 2 maternal half-siblings (1 male + 1 female), and 1 full paternal uncle. Net estate Rp 180,000,000.

  1. Kalalah check: yes — the verse 12 track is live.
  2. Status + evidence: husband 1/2 (An-Nisa 12, no child); the 2 maternal half-siblings 1/3 split equally — male = female (An-Nisa 12, chapter 04); uncle ‘ashabah on the residue (Bukhari no. 6732).
  3. Base 6: husband 3, half-siblings 2 (1 share each), residue 1 → uncle.
  4. Rupiah: 1 share = 30m.
Base number: 6                       Estate: Rp 180,000,000

Heirs                Status        Evidence         Shares   Rupiah
husband              1/2           An-Nisa 12          3      90,000,000
maternal half-sib (m) 1/3 equal    An-Nisa 12          1      30,000,000
maternal half-sib (f) (male = female!) An-Nisa 12       1      30,000,000
full paternal uncle  'ashabah      Bukhari no. 6732     1      30,000,000
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Total                                                   6     180,000,000 ✓

Takeaway. Male and female maternal half-siblings receive exactly equal shares — the one place in faraidh with no 2:1 ratio, and that is the explicit wording of the verse, not ijtihad. Anyone who “corrects” this division to 2:1 is actually contradicting the text.

Case D — A wife, a maternal half-sister, and a full brother

Scenario. A man dies (kalalah), leaving a wife, 1 maternal half-sister, and 1 full brother. Net estate Rp 240,000,000.

  1. Status + evidence: wife 1/4 (An-Nisa 12, no child); maternal half-sister 1/6 (An-Nisa 12, a single person); full brother ‘ashabah — in this case he takes the residue via hadith, while his “class” as an heir is established by An-Nisa 176.
  2. Base 12: wife 3, maternal half-sister 2, residue 7 → full brother.
  3. Rupiah: 1 share = 20m.
Base number: 12                      Estate: Rp 240,000,000

Heirs                Status      Evidence                Shares   Rupiah
wife                 1/4         An-Nisa 12                3     60,000,000
maternal half-sister 1/6         An-Nisa 12                2     40,000,000
full brother          'ashabah   An-Nisa 176 + hadith       7    140,000,000
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Total                                                       12    240,000,000 ✓

  B["VERSE 176 + hadith at work:<br/>full brother = 'ashabah"]:::a176 --> C

Takeaway. Two sibling regimes run side by side without clashing: the maternal half-sister holds a fixed share under verse 12; the full brother takes the residue via the verse 176 + hadith track. Also note: the two do not cancel each other out — the full brother excludes a paternal half-brother, not a maternal half-sibling.
