Dios prescribe respecto a [la herencia de] vuestros hijos: Al varón le corresponde lo mismo que a dos mujeres. Si las hermanas son más de dos, les corresponderán dos tercios de la herencia. Si es hija única, le corresponde la mitad. A cada uno de los padres [del difunto] le corresponderá un sexto, si deja hijos; pero si no tiene hijos y le heredan solo sus padres, un tercio es para la madre. Si tiene hermanos, un sexto es lo que corresponde a la madre. Esto después de cumplir con sus legados y pagar sus deudas. Vosotros ignoráis quiénes tienen más derecho al beneficio de la herencia, si vuestros padres o vuestros hijos, de ahí este precepto de Dios. Dios es Sabio, todo lo sabe.
