Question:
Many people do not care about a woman’s inheritance, Shaykh Salih, but rather you find that wealth is transferred only among the sons, and the women either remain silent out of modesty or are forced to remain silent. What is your guidance, may Allah preserve you?

Answer:
This is a matter of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). In the jahiliyyah, they did not bequeath to women, nor did they bequeath to small children; rather, they restricted the inheritance to those who rode horses and protected the tribes, as they claimed. This is a custom of the jahiliyyah that Islam came to abolish. It granted women a share of the inheritance and granted small children a share of the inheritance. He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: . Note how He began with the women, for the sake of emphasis. Yes, yes.
And paying attention to and responding to the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) who humiliate women and deprive them of the rights that Allah has legislated for them. And He, Glorified and Exalted is He, when He mentioned the obligatory shares and inheritance, said: "Your fathers and your sons, you do not know which of them is closer to you in benefit. It is an obligation from Allah. Indeed, Allah was Knowing, Wise." Therefore, it is obligatory to give every one who has a right his right. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him) .
Therefore, it is obligatory to divide the inheritances according to what Allah legislated for men and women, and for the old and the young. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah in inheritances and other matters, Allah has threatened those who transgress His limits. He, the Exalted, said: . This applies to inheritances and to other matters. Yes.
