Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling, also, on depriving a woman of inheritance?
Answer:
This is forbidden and not permissible; it is injustice. This is injustice to the woman, and it is the practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). The people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance used to prevent women and small children from inheriting. So Allah (Exalted and Majestic) gave them their share of the inheritance:[An-Nisa 4:7] a prescribed portion, whether little or much. Allah made a share of the inheritance for women, and He made a share of the inheritance for children and the young, [An-Nisa 4:11], and He made a share of the inheritance for brothers and sisters. He said, the Exalted: [An-Nisa 4:176] [An-Nisa 4:176]. And the parents also have a share of the inheritance, the father and the mother. Everyone has a determined share of the inheritance, either a fixed share (fard) or as a residuary heir (ta'asib). Yes.
