Q: I got confused by a Christian missionary about the so-called mathematical mistakes in inheritance explained in Quran. Since I am not an aalim, I need your help to clarify this confusion. I have firm faith that there is no such mistake in the Quran; it's my fault not to have complete knowledge about it. One example he gave is stated below:

Wife 1/8 = 3/24

Daughters 2/3 = 16/24

Father 1/6 = 4/24

Mother 1/6 = 4/24

Total = 27/24

Please help me out in this matter.
