Bismillāhi Raḥmāni Raḥīm 
Date:   14th  Dhul-Qahdah, 1441 A H /  6th June, 2020
Subject:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance) 
Lesson:   70
Topic: Al-Radd (Shares Redistribution or Return of Residue): Part 4
Sub-Topic: Practical Examples of Al-Radd
Dear Participants,
In our last three classes, we have learnt about the meaning, importance and modern application of Al-Radd in some Muslim countries. Today, Inshā’ Allāh, we are looking at some practical application of Al-Radd as inferred fron case of inheritance distribution:
1.   A  Man died and left behind a daughter, his wife and no residuary. How can we share his estate?  Solution: Initially, the daughter inherits ½ which is 4/8, the wife inherits 1/8 which is 1/8. The equation is 4/8+1/8= 5/8.  There is residue of 3/8. In this case only the daughter has the legal capacity to inherit the remnant; hence, the residue will be allotted to her. Thus the share becomes: Daughter: ½ =4/8+ 3/8= 7/8,  Wife:    1/8= 1/8= 1/8. The Total will now be:   7/8+ 1/8= 8/8= 1           
2.  A woman died leaving behind her husband and three real daughters. How would you share her estate?
Solution: The husband is entitled to ¼ (the daughters barred him from inheriting half), the three real daughters would then jointly inherit ¾ (each receiving ¼ as fard and radd)
The shares balance becomes:  ¼ +¾ = 4/4 =1
NOTE: It must be noted that under Al-Farā’id principle, the husband and the wife are not eligible to inherit estate residue through Al-Radd once any of the deceased’s parents and children are alive. Majority of scholars opined that both of them (husband and wife) are not related by blood and their ground of inheritance is through Nikkāh, not through blood ties (Nasabiyyah).
  Jazākumullāhu Khayran for reading today’s lesson.  
Yours in Islām

Writing an Islamic Will in non-Islamic State (Part 2)

Bismillāhi Rahmāni Rahīm  You are welcome to today's class on inheritance law in Islām. Date:   20th Jumādah Thānnī , 1441 A H /  14th February, 2020 Series 2:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance): The Theories   Lesson:   51 Topic:  Writing a Shari ‘ah-Compliant Will as a Muslim in non-Islamic State? (Part 2) Glory be to Allah!!!  Having defined the meaning of Shari ‘ah-Compliant Will  and non-Islamic State in our last class, it is now imperative to look at the modalities that could be adopted by a Muslim living in non-Islamic state to write his Wasiyyah and make it valid and tenable in the Court of law after his or demise. We must bear it in mind however, that, as we exemplified previously, the common law Will and its content are not the same as Shari ‘ah-Compliant Will because in Islām, a Muslim cannot use his or her Will to decimate or share his or property while alive as obtainable in common law, but, he or s...

This week, we are looking are the types of Al-Waṣiyyah and its conditions, features, benefits and restrictions as enshrined under Islamic law. According to some scholars, there are two types of Al-Waṣiyyah; namely, specific and general bequests. Specific bequest entails a bequest made on a particular item or a special property while the general bequest is not special. They opined that the differences between the two is that the specific bequest is dete...
