The Ruling on Equality Between Males and Females in Gifts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a father equalizes the gift between his sons and daughters, is his action forbidden?
Answer:
Yes, indeed, because this is not the justice by which Allah distributed the inheritance, and He is the best of judges (Glorified and Exalted is He). We hold to what Allah has approved and distributed, except for those who equate the woman with the man; some people demand equality and change the rulings of Allah the Mighty and Majestic. He says: Honorable Shaykh, as for the Muslims, they are pleased with the ideas of Allah the Mighty and Majestic, so He made the share of the male like that of two females, yes.
