Transparent verification

Inheritance calculation test cases

The engine is checked with exact fractions, not rounded decimals. These representative cases cover prescribed shares, residuaries, blocking, awl, radd and named exceptions.

18 automated checks passed in this release. Every listed result totals one whole estate. Rare disputed configurations are deliberately flagged for scholar review rather than presented as universally agreed.

Core share and residuary cases

Passed

Wife, son and daughter

Wife 1/8. The remaining 7/8 is divided two to one: son 7/12, daughter 7/24.

Passed

Husband, son and daughter

Husband 1/4. The residue gives the son 1/2 and the daughter 1/4.

Passed

Two daughters and father

Daughters collectively receive 2/3. Father receives 1/6 plus the 1/6 residue, totalling 1/3.

Passed

Father blocks full brother

The father receives the residue. The full brother is excluded by the nearer ascendant.

Passed

Daughter, son's daughter and full sister

Daughter 1/2, son's daughter 1/6 to complete two thirds, full sister receives the 1/3 residue.

Passed

Son's daughter only

Her prescribed starting share is 1/2. With no residuary, the balance returns to her by radd, making her final share one whole estate.

Adjustments and special cases

Passed

Umariyyah with wife

Wife 1/4. Mother receives one third of the remainder, equal to 1/4. Father receives 1/2.

Passed

Umariyyah with husband

Husband 1/2. Mother receives one third of the remainder, equal to 1/6. Father receives 1/3.

Passed

Awl: husband and two full sisters

Starting shares total 7/6. Awl adjusts the husband to 3/7 and the sisters collectively to 4/7.

Passed

Radd: wife and daughter

Wife remains at 1/8. The daughter receives her prescribed share plus the return, totalling 7/8.

Passed

Akdariyyah

Husband 1/3, mother 2/9, paternal grandfather 8/27 and full sister 4/27.

Passed

Grandfather and full brother

Sharing as one brother is most favourable here. Each receives 1/2.

Safety and validation cases

Passed

Spouse only

The spouse receives the prescribed share. The remaining balance is clearly labelled for review rather than silently assigned.

Passed

Bequest over one third

The estate stage caps the estimate at one third after funeral costs and debts and displays a warning.

Passed

Blocked relatives still explained

An entered relative who is excluded remains visible in the explanation with the precise reason for exclusion.

How this differs from a superficial test

A calculator can produce a percentage that looks plausible while misidentifying an heir, applying the wrong blocking rule or explaining the result incorrectly. Each check therefore verifies the exact fraction assigned to every inheriting class and confirms that the final total is one.

The older ILM Summit calculator supplied a valuable bank of public examples. This rebuilt site does not simply copy its wording or treat every historical result as beyond review. It separates ordinary agreed cases from configurations affected by recognised juristic differences, particularly grandfather with siblings, Mushtarakah, distant kindred and spouse-only radd.

Historical regression comparison

Against the supported, machine-readable ILM Summit examples, 128 of 130 comparable cases produce the same category shares. The two deliberate differences are disclosed: one historical case gives maternal siblings a share despite the presence of daughters, although descendants exclude maternal siblings; the other is a mixed grandfather, full-sister and paternal-sibling configuration involving detailed mu’addah rules, which this site flags for qualified review instead of presenting a simplified answer as universally settled. Four further records are outside the current comparable set because they are empty, marked as errors, or use a more distant cousin-descendant class not offered by the wizard.

Research context: Modern evaluation work stresses that inheritance systems should be tested across heir identification, blocking, allocation and arithmetic rather than judged only by the final number. The public ILM Summit regression project also demonstrates the value of keeping machine-readable inheritance cases.

Known review boundaries

The current release calculates the common heir classes shown in the wizard and implements awl, radd, Umariyyatain, Akdariyyah and the principal grandfather comparison. It raises a review warning for Mushtarakah, mixed full and paternal siblings with a grandfather, spouse-only balances, distant kindred, and any bequest benefiting an heir.

This transparency is intentional. A result should not claim certainty when the answer depends on a madhhab, local statute or family fact the form cannot establish.
