Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : This is a woman calling in on the line. She asks: What is the evidence that if a person wants to distribute his wealth during his lifetime, he should give the male the share of two females?

Answer : The evidence is the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He:
Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two femalesيُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنثَيَيْنِ
[An-Nisa 4:11]
There is no division fairer than the division of Allah. If this is the case after death, then it is all the more so during life, because the father is present during life. So if the daughter needs something, he can give her what she needs. If Allah the Exalted has prescribed that
for the male, what is equal to the share of two femalesلِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنثَيَيْنِ
[An-Nisa 4:11]
after death, then it is all the more so during life.
