The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((And those who are related by blood are closer to one another in the Book of Allah than the believers and the emigrants))

It is derived from this noble verse the abrogation of inheritance through alliance, based on His saying: You see in it But I did not recite it so that the connection between the beginning and the end of the verse would be clear. According to one of the interpretations, that is included in the one who is preferred. However, if we consider to be explanatory of His saying: , then it does not indicate that. It may indicate it by way of necessity, not by way of direct linguistic indication and correspondence. If none of the relatives by blood exists, does inheritance revert to alliance and support? The majority of scholars hold that it does not revert. As for the causes of inheritance, they are limited to only three: marriage, lineage, and offspring. However, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) permits inheritance through alliance and support if the three agreed-upon causes do not exist. He says that when the relatives are absent, the cause preventing inheritance through alliance and support is removed. But the majority of scholars hold the opposite view.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is that maintaining family ties, just as it is done in life, is also done after death, because this priority exists in life and in death.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is that whoever is closer among the relatives by blood is more entitled to inheritance. The explanation of this is:
The student: ...

The Shaykh : We have previously stated in this chapter that if a ruling is conditioned by a description, then the stronger the description is in a thing, the more entitled that thing is to the ruling. As long as those who are related by blood are more entitled because they are relatives, then whoever has a stronger kinship is more entitled. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If I were to tell you, for example, "If you see an open sinner, flog him," would this command to flog differ depending on the open sinners? Or are the most sinful and the least sinful treated equally? It differs, because the rule we mentioned is that if a ruling is conditioned by a description, then whenever this description is stronger in a place, that place is more entitled to the ruling. Yes.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is the virtue of migration. Shall we look at it now, or not?
The student: ...?

The Shaykh : How?
The student:
The Shaykh : Because the emigrant is a believer, is he not? His specific mention by conjunction indicates his honor and virtue, just as in His saying: [Al-Qadr: 4] Who is the Spirit? Jibril. His specific mention by conjunction, while he is one of the angels, is evidence of his honor and exaltation. Yes.
Then Allah the Exalted said: The author says: "In the Book of Allah" means in what is written by Him. So it is an active participle used in the sense of a passive participle. Is the meaning of "in the Book of Allah" in the revelation, or in the Book of Allah meaning in the decree of Allah? Because "books" is used in the sense of decree, as in His saying: [Al-Baqarah: 183] [An-Nisa: 103] It is possible that it means either, but the closest is that "in the Book of Allah" means in what is written by Him, i.e., in what Allah the Mighty and Majestic has written. How is it in what He has written? We say that if the meaning is the Preserved Tablet, then the matter is clear, because Allah has written in the Preserved Tablet the measures of all things. And if the meaning is this Qur'an, then it is written in the hands of the angels and written in the hands of the believers from the children of Adam. And His saying: The author says "But" This is the beginning of today's lesson.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : It is also derived from this noble verse the establishment of inheritance for those related by blood. Who are those related by blood in the terminology of the jurists of inheritance? Every relative who is neither a fixed heir nor a residuary heir. The scholars have differed regarding them, some of whom said that they do not inherit.
