((The male receives the share of two females)) This is regarding inheritance, so what is the evidence for applying it to gifts, given the distinction between gifts and inheritance?

The questioner :
for the male, what is equal to the share of two females للذكر مثل حظ الأنثيين
[An-Nisa 4:11]


The Shaykh : I would prefer if he said: "And He benefited you with His knowledge, and benefited Islam and the Muslims." Isn't that better? I hope that I will benefit from my knowledge. Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes, we cited the verse not to say that a gift is inheritance, but to say that justice is for the male to be given, or for the male to be given the share of two females. We cited it for that purpose, otherwise we know that this is inheritance and that is a gift. Yes.
