Islamic Inheritance vs Freedom of Ownership

Published by

Countess Karlotta Libenstein of Germany left approximately $106 million to her dog in 1992 and she is not alone. The richest dogs in the world can be seen here.

REPRODUCED FROM KHILAFAH.COM فَلِلذَّكَرِ مِثۡلُ حَظِّ ٱلۡأُنثَيَيۡنِ “for the male, what is equal to the share of two females” [Surah an-Nisa’a 4:11] There are verses in the Book of Allah which the secularists and enemies of Islam are itching to abolish if they could. Malicious people always direct their arrows of slander and falsehood toward Islam through these verses, and the most prominent of these is the saying of Allah (swt), يُوصِيكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِيٓ أَوۡلَٰدِكُمۡۖ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثۡلُ حَظِّ ٱلۡأُنثَيَيۡنِ “Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females.” [Surah an-Nisa’a 4:11]

“All pious Muslims well-read in the Hadith firmly believe in the need to establish an Islamic State headed by a Muslim Caliph.” Sami Moubayed

Shiite Muslims add that he must be from Ahl al-Bayt; a member of the prophet’s family.” (Sami Moubayed, Daily Telegraph, 23 Sep 2015)
