Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Those are the limits of Allah"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sa'id Muhammad from Riyadh sent a message asking: What is the intended meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted[An-Nisa 4:13]? He is asking about the limits of Allah the Mighty and Majestic?
Answer:
The intended meaning here is the shares of inheritance and the laws of bequest. This verse came after the explanation of inheritance in Surat al-Nisa, so inheritance is the limits of Allah. If you give the inheritance to those who are entitled to it, that is the obligatory duty, and giving people their rights. It is not permissible to tamper with inheritances, deprive the rightful heir, or give it to one who is not entitled. Rather, it must be carried out according to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

These are the limits [set by] Allah, and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger will be admitted by Him to gardens [in Paradise] under which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein; and that is the great attainment.
تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُAnswer:
