If a man dies with only daughters his daughters will get 2/3rd and siblings 1/3rd but if some of the siblings are deceased will their children get it????

What about the gold? In countries like India, women claim that it belongs to them and do not share with male heirers.

Example at 37:18. Father left with 2 daughters after wife dies:

Father takes 1/4 and the daughters take 2/3 each plus whatever remains???
And when he corrected it to
Father gets 1/4 and the daughters get 1/3 each, he says 1/4 remains? That would make the total 1/4 (father) + 1/3 (daughter) + 1/3 (daughter) + 1/4 (remainder) = 7/6 😮

I have a question sheikh. In some countries in south east Asia, they give the house (even if it is their only wealth) to their daughter 100 percent. The male members do or do not get anything depending on whether they got it through their wives. So what if the mother promises her daughters in-laws that the house belongs to her daughter only and not her brothers? Can she write the will to her daughter during her life time? And what if she has passed away not writing a will ? Please clarity.

My mother give his half of the house when she’s a living to help pay mortgage but when behind my back to give him the whole house then now she said that’s my house and we went to lawsuit against my brother when we finally found an attorney for our budget she turn around went on his side. Now both are harassing me. What can I do now

@arsheenjaved2042

I have two questions.
1. What if a son refuses to take responsibility for his parents and attempts to evict them from a house that the parents built, but which is registered in the son’s name, while also denying the daughters their rightful inheritance shares?

2. If the father did not give any property to the daughters during his lifetime, can the mother legally distribute her dower (meher) property—up to one-third of the estate—as compensation to the daughters, especially with the husband’s permission, considering that the sons are unwilling to follow Islamic inheritance laws? How does this apply particularly when the daughters are caring for their parents?

I chanced upon your video. Thank you very much for explaining clearly and stressing about Faraaid and Wills. which many Muslims are ignorant about. Now, I would like to highlight about a serious ignorance and non-compliance of Faraaid amongst the Tamil muslims in India and other countries. From my knowledge of all our relations none of them is following this obligatory Faraaid. The usual practice is to write some Will (which is haram) leaving behind their properties to their children. They might not know it is haram.

Not only that the will is not based on shares as stipulated in Quran. It is arbitrarily distributed e.g. this house for second son, that house for the daughter and so on without looking at the actual value and calculating the exact shares. In worst cases they leave out totally all the sons and give everything to a daughter (as an example). These are not non-practicing muslims, but performing muslims who pray, fast, give qurban and go umrah. In my research, many are totally ignorant of this exact Faraaid rules. Not only that many families have been devastated by the misinterpretation of 'asafath' rule, and usurping all the properties.

In my many years of listening to Khutbahs, speeches by imams very rarely (one or two) have addressed this dire situation. Why are learned Tamil imams reluctant to preach on this severe issue of committing haram. These imams will talk for hours on trivial matters, but not this important one on inheritance. Wassalam.

Surah 24 An-Nur, Ayat 36

˹That light shines˺ through houses ˹of worship˺ which Allah has ordered to be raised, and where His Name is mentioned. He is glorified there morning and evening

فِى بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ ٱللَّهُ أَن تُرْفَعَ وَيُذْكَرَ فِيهَا ٱسْمُهُۥ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ فِيهَا بِٱلْغُدُوِّ وَٱلْـَٔاصَالِ ٣٦

BarakAllahufeek Sheikh Belal, for only you can succinctly encapsulate such an important n vast topic in less than an hour, though we really don't mind longer. Allah has surely blessed you for blessing so many through you.

The deeper you dive, the more you understand the wisdom, mercy, and perfection of the infallibility of Allah's laws and boundaries and the evidently flawed efficacy of man-made laws.
The so called "progressive west" did not give women rights to property and money till as late as mid-1800s and 1900s. And Islam elevated and honoured women in every aspect centuries ago. And Islam is propagated as regressive. Really??
Pick up any western Charter of rights and its roots are already embedded in Islam. May Allah increase all of us in the knowledge of our deen and wisdom to use it. Allahumma Ameen
