The Ruling on Studying Inheritance Law and a Woman’s Harsh Speech
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The second paragraph says the questioner asks: Is studying inheritance law obligatory, or is it a recommended practice?
The Shaykh:
Yes, studying inheritance law is a collective obligation. If a sufficient number of people perform it, the obligation is lifted from the rest. It remains a recommended practice for the others.
The presenter:
And if it is left to the people, they will all understand it.
The questioner:
Umm Muhammad sent this prayer, saying: To the believers, an elderly woman prays and fasts, is clean, and gives charity, and she is dying. But despite that, she speaks harshly to her granddaughter. What is the Shaykh’s opinion on that?
The Shaykh:
May Allah accept her prayer and her fast, we hope for her acceptance, if Allah wills. Her speaking harshly, this is not permissible, especially to her daughter or her beloved one. So this is a matter that is not permissible. She must repent to Allah the Exalted.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
