Question:
She asks: Is there any advice for those who deprive women of inheritance?

Answer:
Allah, Exalted and Majestic, has made inheritance a right for men and women
For men is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, and for women is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or much - an obligatory share.لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْأَقْرَبُونَ وَلِلنِّسَاءِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْأَقْرَبُونَ مِمَّا قَلَّ مِنْهُ أَوْ كَثُرَ نَصِيبًا مَّفْرُوضًا
[An-Nisa 4:7]
So the woman has a right to inheritance according to what Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has prescribed.
Those who deprive her of inheritance are the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) before Islam. As for after Islam, the woman’s right to inheritance was established, and no one prevents it except a wrongdoer. No one prevents it except a wrongdoer. It came in a report or in a hadith
That whoever prevents, that whoeverأن من منع أن من
preventing anyone from their inheritance. Indeed, Allah prevents the one who prevents their inheritance from Paradise. Is it not permissible to prevent women from the inheritance that Allah has made for them?
