Question:
The brother al-Sumay'i from Yemen requests an explanation of the meaning of this hadith from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "Give the prescribed shares to those who are entitled to them, and what remains goes to the nearest male relative (of the deceased)." [Agreed upon].صلى الله عليه وسلم ألحق الفرائض بأهلها، فما بقي فهو لأولى رجل ذكر متفق عليه.
Bulugh al-Maram 7:206


Answer:
This is from the chapter of inheritance, the chapter of inheritance. "Assign the prescribed shares to their heirs." The fixed shares determined in the Book of Allah are seven shares. Yes. And after the 'asabah, after the fixed shares, the 'asabah comes for the relatives. So the meaning of "Assign the prescribed shares to their heirs" is to give them their shares. Yes.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
