The Response to the Claim That Islam Oppresses Women in Inheritance

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, one of the doubts raised by secularists and advocates of women's equality with men is that a woman in Islam receives less than a man in inheritance, so there must be justice in the division.

Answer:
Meaning, is Allah unjust? May Allah keep us safe. Justice means she takes the same as the man, which would make Allah, Glorified and Exalted, unjust toward her. This is the greatest disbelief, and may Allah protect us from it. Allah is Wise and All-Knowing, so He is the One who decreed this, and we have no objection. However, regarding the reasoning, we say that the man has duties and expenses, unlike the woman. The woman has no expenses; rather, he spends on her. So if a married woman has the wealth of Qarun or more, she does not spend on herself; rather, who spends on her?
Her husband. Her financial maintenance is obligatory upon her husband. Therefore, the man bears the burden, so he has a preference over the female in inheritance, because his responsibility is greater than the woman's. This is from the side of reasoning and wisdom. Otherwise, it is obligatory for us to submit to the command of Allah and not object to it, and not to accuse Allah of injustice. May Allah keep us safe.
