Inquiry Regarding Islamic Inheritance For Women
First, man is allowed to make a will for his entire estate. If he thinks one of his children or his only daughter needs more of his wealth, he should make a will. The law of inheritance comes after will. Leaving the matter without will indicates that man has adopted the will of God in the distribution of his estate. The law of inheritance is based on the measure of benefit of his heirs. Girls’ benefit is transferred to their in laws thefore their benefit is lesser than that of sons and if there is no sons, then the brothers help. This is the norm. Thefore brothers are nominated as heirs when there is only daughters . In a particular case where man thinks that his daughter is more beneficial to him or she has greater need or his brothers are not beneficial then he should make a will accordingly.
