Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Muhammad ibn Yusuf narrated to us, from Warqa', from Ibn Abi Najih, from Ata', from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 2747.
The Shaykh : This report is clear, and it affirms abrogation, which is established even by the indication of the Qur'an and the Sunnah, both in terms of report and occurrence.
The custom (in old days) was that the property of the deceased would be inherited by his offspring; as for the parents (of the deceased), they would inherit by the will of the deceased. Then Allah cancelled from that custom whatever He wished and fixed for the male double the amount inherited by the female, and for each parent a sixth (of the whole legacy) and for the wife an eighth or a fourth and for the husband a half or a fourth.
كان المال للولد، وكانت الوصية للوالدين، فنسخ الله من ذلك ما أحب، فجعل للذكر مثل حظ الأنثيين، وجعل للأبوين لكل واحد منهما السدس، وجعل للمرأة الثمن والربع، وللزوج الشطر والربعThe Shaykh : This report is clear, and it affirms abrogation, which is established even by the indication of the Qur'an and the Sunnah, both in terms of report and occurrence.
