The Comprehensive Book on the Science of Inheritance and Its Calculation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what book do you recommend that is considered comprehensive in the science of inheritance and its calculation?
The Shaykh:
First, the teacher must thoroughly master the specific shares. Then, the book should be easy. There are many books, but the specialized teacher in inheritance is essential. As for the books, praise be to Allah, they are available and accessible. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people claim that...
The Shaykh:
But, in my opinion, the best and shortest book is: if you want poetry, it is al-Rahbiyyah; if you want prose, it is al-Fawa'id al-Jaliyyah by Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him). This is the best concise book on inheritance, in both prose and poetry. But as I told you, the book is not sufficient. Reading it is not enough, and memorizing it is not enough; a specialized teacher is necessary. Yes.
