Inheritance
It is there in verse 4: 11. More than two includes “two”. Ghamidi saheb writes The actual words are: فَوۡقَ اثۡنَتَيۡنِ (more than two). However, I have interpreted them as “two or more than two.” The reason behind this is that before it, the word اثتنتينِ (two) has been suppressed, which is owing to the style and pattern of the Arabic language. If, in the language of the Qur’ān, the share of a girl and of two or more girls is to be stated separately owing to a difference in their proportions, then there can be two ways of doing so. If an ascending order arrangement is adopted, then the share of one girl shall be stated first followed by the share of two girls. If the share of more than two girls is to be the same as that of two girls, then there is no need to mention it in words. After specifying the share of two girls after that of one, owing to a difference in their amount, if a silence follows, then this is a clear indication that the share of more than two girls is equal to that of two girls’. If a descending order arrangement is employed, then again, the words فَوۡقَ اثۡنَتَيۡنِ او اثنتين (more than two or two) are inappropriate as regards the linguistic style and pattern of Arabic; so after stating the shares of more than two girls, the share of one girl will be stated. In this style and arrangement, the commencement of a sentence by فَوۡقَ اثۡنَتَيۡنِ bears evidence to a suppression of the word اثۡنَتَيۡنِ before it. A little deliberation shows that the verse readily suggests this fact. The order of the arrangement demands that اثۡنَتَيۡنِ should come after فَوۡقَ اثۡنَتَيۡنِ, while linguistic considerations dictate that اثنتين should come before فَوۡقَ اثۡنَتَيۡنِ. To fulfil both these requirements, the Qur’ān has suppressed the word اثْنَتَيْنِ by employing a suppression in the descending order arrangement. In the last verse of Sūrah al-Nisā’, these shares are stated in an ascending order. Accordingly, we observe there that فَوۡقَ اثۡنَتَيۡنِ is suppressed after اثْنَتَيْنِ: اِنِ امْرُؤٌا هَلَكَ لَيْسَ لَهٗ وَلَدٌ وَّلَهٗ٘ اُخْتٌ فَلَهَا نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَﵐ وَهُوَ يَرِثُهَا٘ اِنْ لَّمْ يَكُنْ لَّهَا وَلَدٌﵧ فَاِنْ كَانَتَا اثْنَتَيْنِ فَلَهُمَا الثُّلُثٰنِ مِمَّا تَرَكَ. (176:4) If a man dies childless and he has only one sister, she shall inherit half of what he leaves and if a sister dies childless, then her brother shall be her heir; and if there are two sisters, they shall inherit two-thirds of what he [or she] leaves. (4:176)
Irfan sahib this is a self made rule. 1) By using Ghamidis reasoning we are assuming that the same share will be of more than 2 sisters in 176. But this isn’t supported by anything. It’s like we know the answer and then trying to find the reasoning. 2) Who stated this is a rule in the Arabic language? 3) Where has this rule been used in the Quran anywhere else? 4) When ever count has been mentioned for anything, wives, wings of angels the entire count has been used. 5) The letter “fa” has always been used to mark something new. I really hope you reply so we can continue this discussion and I can point to where the two daughter have been mentioned.
