Hassan Ilyas' Law Of Inheritance Videos
This has been answered by Ghamidi Sahab in the article I just shared, and the excerpt that I shared with you specifically addresses this point. In summary: – Will in favour of Kalalah can be made even in presence of rightful heirs where will is to be adjusted first against the total inheritance. or; – Will in favour of Kalalah can be made only for the remaining amount of inheritance that is left after distribution of inheritance to the rightful heirs. or; – Will in favour of Kalalah can be made in the absence of rightful heirs. (In all the scenarios, the distribution directive of 4:12 will be applied) Regarding Brothers and Sisters specifically, they are Kalalah relatives by default, but only be considered rightful heirs of the deceased in case He/She dies childless, in that case they take place of children and become rightful heirs and the same distribution as applicable to children applies to them (as elaborated in 4:176). In the presence of children, brothers and sisters are also Kalalah relatives just like other Kalalah relatives and in that case, they will be dealt with in accordance with verse 4:12. In case a person dies without making any will , the principle of أَقْرَبُ لَكُمْ نَفْعًا in today’s time can be applied by the state after taking into consideration all the circumstances surrounding the deceased.
Okay, I’ll do that. Thanks for letting me know Umer. I was asking this in the context of Hassan’s videos, and might have other questions. So I thought, this might be an over-arching thread for discussing Hassan’s videos.
