The Ruling on Studying the Science of Inheritance

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, regarding the study of the science of inheritance, is it obligatory, or are there scholars who specialize in this science?

Answer:
The science of inheritance is an important science. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) recommended it and encouraged it, because it is a difficult science and because it is forgotten, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. So, the one who has the aptitude to understand inheritance should study it. Praise be to Allah, the art of inheritance is now a required course in the scientific institutes and in the College of Shari'ah. The Muslim should take an interest in it, because it is a great legacy, because people need it, and because it is forgotten. The one who takes an interest in it has a great reward, because he is acting in accordance with the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and fulfilling the needs of the people. Yes.
