Remaining property is distributed among heirs based on their legally defined shares.

Key Principles of Islamic Inheritance Law

• Fixed shares for heirs (Quranic heirs)

People Also Ask (PAA) – Inheritance & Succession Lawyers in Pakistan

What is inheritance law in Pakistan?

Inheritance law in Pakistan governs the legal distribution of a deceased person’s movable and immovable property among legal heirs. For Muslims, inheritance is distributed strictly under Islamic Shariah law, while non-Muslims (Christians, Hindus, etc.) follow their respective personal laws and statutory provisions.

---

Who are legal heirs under Islamic law in Pakistan?

Under Islamic inheritance law in Pakistan, legal heirs include:

• Wife or husband

• Sons and daughters

• Parents (father and mother)

• Brothers and sisters (in specific situations)

Each heir’s share depends on their relationship with the deceased and the presence of other heirs, as prescribed by the Quran and Sunnah.

---

Can property be distributed through a will in Pakistan?

A Muslim can only bequeath up to one-third (1/3rd) of their property through a will, and not in favor of an existing legal heir without the consent of other heirs. The remaining two-thirds must be distributed according to Islamic inheritance law.

---

• Bank accounts

• Shares and securities

• Bonds and prize bonds

---

Who can apply for a succession certificate in Pakistan?

A succession certificate can be applied for by:

• Widow or widower

Can NADRA resolve inheritance disputes between legal heirs?

For the proper guidelines of our valued Client, we made this YouTube video, which explains how a deceased person’s property is distributed under Islamic and Pakistani law. Legal heirs, including children, spouses, and parents, receive fixed shares. If heirs disagree on distribution, a Partition Suit can be filed in Court. The Court appoints a commissioner to divide the property or order its sale if necessary. Key documents like the Death Certificate, NIC’s, Family Registration Certificate, and Property Ownership papers are required for the process.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has issued a significant ruling regarding Daughters’ Inheritance rights. In this case, a daughter claimed her rightful share in her deceased father’s property after several decades. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan not only upheld her claim but also imposed a fine on the sons for depriving her of her inheritance for such a long period of time. This judgment reinforces the legal obligation to distribute inheritance fairly and highlights the consequences of delaying a rightful heir’s share.
