Equality in Gifts Between Males and Females
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a father gives equal gifts to his sons and daughters, is his action forbidden?
The Shaykh:
Yes, because this is not the justice by which Allah distributed the inheritance, and He is the most wise of judges (Glorified and Exalted is He). So we are pleased with what Allah was pleased with and distributed, except for people who now demand equality and change the rulings of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The questioner:
The same thing.
The Shaykh:
As for the Muslims, they are pleased with the rulings of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), making the male’s share equal to the share of two females. Yes.
