Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the saying of Allah[Al-Baqarah 2:180], are the parents excepted due to their greatness?
Answer:
This verse is abrogated. This was before inheritance shares were prescribed. Before inheritance shares were prescribed, one would make a bequest to his parents. When the shares of inheritance were prescribed, the verses of inheritance abrogated this verse. Indeed, Allah has given every one who has a right his right, so there is no bequest for an heir. Yes.
