2:180 is not revoked as Mullahs claim - Re Will

Post by Our Beacon Committee »

INHERITANCE / IS VERSE 2:180 CANCELLED?
The ignorant "Ulama" misguide Muslims that a Hadith has cancelled 2:180 and that the portions of the survivors of a deceased have been fixed in the Qur'an. No verse of the Qur’an has been revoke, period. This blunder has been incorporated into an effective law in the so-called Muslim countries. Should a drug addict, criminal son inherit as much as his righteous brother? 4:11 makes it clear that the portions of an inheritance have been fixed only for the left-over of a will.
2:180 Regarding proper dispensation of property, it is prescribed for you, when death approaches any of you, and he is leaving behind much wealth – that he set up a will for parents and family in a decent, equitable manner. This is a binding duty on the upright. [Any oversight or leftover from the will shall be distributed according to portions described in 4]
THE LEFTOVER FROM A WILL:
4:11 Preparing a will is a duty ordained (2:180). Allah decrees a will for the benefit of your children.
(Since the sons have the responsibility to take care of the family, and daughters will be cared for by their husbands, or if unmarried, by other males in the family), sons get twice the share of daughters.
- If two, or more, daughters are the only inheritors, they get two-thirds.
- If only one daughter is left, she gets one-half.
- If the deceased has left any children, then parents get one-sixth each.
- If there are no children, and parents are the only heirs, the mother gets a third and the father gets two-thirds, since the male has the fiscal responsibility of the family.
- If the deceased has left brothers or sisters, the mother gets one-sixth and the father gets one third.
Remember, this distribution shall take place after fulfilling the will of the deceased and after paying off all debts. As for your parents and your children, you know not which of them is more deserving of benefit from you. Such is the Ordinance from Allah. Verily, Allah is Omniscient, Wise.
