Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on those who prevent daughters from inheriting on the pretext that the sons are the ones who worked hard to gather the wealth?
Answer:
If he holds that a woman has no right to inheritance, this is disbelief in Allah the Exalted, because he is denying Allah the Exalted.[An-Nisa 4:7] So the one who says that a woman does not deserve inheritance is a disbeliever, because he is denying Allah.
But if he acknowledges that she has a share in the inheritance, yet he prevents her from it on the pretext that the man is more in need of the money than she is, this is injustice. This is considered injustice and consuming wealth by false means, because he is consuming her right without right, and it is consuming wealth by false means, and it is injustice. Yes.
