My late husband had no children: how much does the wife get and who takes the remainder?

If the husband has no children or grandchildren through a son, the wife (or all the wives sharing) receives 1/4. The remainder of the estate is divided among the other heirs in order: the mother receives 1/3 or 1/6 depending on the deceased's siblings, the father receives the remainder as a residuary (asabah), and if there is no father, the deceased's siblings and so on. A simple example: the deceased leaves two wives, a mother and a father. The wives 1/4 (1/8 each), the mother 1/3 of the remainder after the wives' share (in the Umariyyatain case, that is 1/4 of the estate), and the father takes the rest. Real cases can be complicated, so use the calculator and confirm with a Faraid Certificate.
