JazakAllahou Khair

@RealGodsTruth it seems you come hear without reading the history of this greatest who have ever come to pass the best creature of Allah Christians monks who hated Islam so much could not deny his humility though they hated the message he was delivering even of today's Christians scholar have written positive things about him in their books

If they break their promise, this is a sin, as is giving their sister and her children hope, and they have to expiate for it by feeding the poor etc. However, they can't be compelled to give up their share.

Watch his other lectures. He has given the answer. Hanbali.

u were gifted it. now it is yours. they are trying to steal property. get imam and lawyer and be safe, if he threatens even slightly, file police report as i see a lot of serious crimes that result from such cases in south east asian countries.

Which is gifted at grandfarhers life time. Now it is yours.

As salaam Since no one answered, I'll for the sake of helping but others, please correct me if I'm wrong. Your mom was right, eating dates (or fresh fruits if you dont hv dates - all these for your own physical benefit actually) is a sunnah. Since it's a sunnah, you just lose the merit for not doing it, but your fasting is valid iA.

"The Prophet Muhammad used to break his fast with dates and if there were no dates he would break his fast with a few sips of water," This is what I found online and I am pretty sure I read this in a book as well

Inheritance is not solely about things. It is a honour bestowed on the heir by الله سبحانه وتعالى. Nobody has the right to diminish that honour. So inheritance must be given as الله سبحانه وتعالى has prescribed. Irrespective of whether one heir is disparitively wealthier than the other.

There is however a non-problem when it the law of the land or a pre existing condition. For example when a couple is married in community of property. Half of the 'estate' actually is not part of the estate, it is the legal property of the surviving spouse. And as such, it has to be subtracted from the inheritance amount before the division. Any legally binding transactions that the deceased exercised in their lifetime has to take precedence. I would however be cautious about wilfully trying to circumvent the will of الله سبحانه وتعالى Philosophically I would like to leave this world in peace. The wealth that I have been a steward of in my lifetime ultimately belongs to الله سبحانه وتعالى and as such is not mine to re/distribute. I prefer it if my cold dead hand was not reaching out of the grave still clawing onto possessions and trying to dictate matters of the living.

@Sofia X If the dying man was worried about the care of his daughter he should make sure that he settled money on her in his lifetime or he could leave her up to a third of his estate.He could also ask her brothers to take care of her after he had passed on. This would be a duty for them anyway if she had no one else to care for her. What the dying man cannot do is reappropriate the inheritance of any other heirs, because الله سبحانه وتعالى has already given it to them.

@Sofia X They cannot pass on their inheritance. It was a gift and a command from Allah. They can do with it what they want after they got it. They can give it to their sister then. But you don't pass up on even a mere suggestion never mind a command from الله سبحانه وتعالى. It is ill mannered and ill advised.

@Sofia X I want to make it perfectly clear that I am not challenging the wisdom and knowledge of Sheikh Yasir. I admire him greatly. He has an immense amount of energy and knowledge and he speaks truth to power in a clear voice. I had felt after watching the Q&A, that perhaps he had not been clear enough in explaining the philosophy of inheritance. And it appears that I was justified in this belief considering this cross examination to which I am currently subjected. Muslims submit to the will of their Lord and Creator. We cannot afford to make the same mistakes as Iblis.

Distribution of assets in a person's lifetime does not form part of the estate. Inheritance of a deceased estate only happens after death. So whatever gifts they give or business transactions they perform in their lifetime cannot be regarded as inheritance

I think that would apply to the father. He can give 1/3 to anyone he wants, the remaining 2/3 must be shared with the family/his children.

​@@ArdoBlueMoon The deceased has the right to mention in his will to take a maximum of 1/3 and distribute to non-heirs. This 1/3 cannot be given to legal heirs mentioned in the Qur'an: An Nisa' 11, 12 176. If he does not take the maximum of 1/3 (for example), he forfeits it and the entire 100% will be distributed to the heirs. Dr. Qadhi has not stated the solution clearly. He repeated three times that no one changes what Allah has ordained. However, he should state that (a) Whatever someone gives in is life time is considered a gift and it has nothing to do with an inheritance after death; (b) Deciding the inheritance shares in life has no meaning because the shares from the wealth are not in the possession of heirs. After death the shares will be distributed according to the Islamic law of inheritance; (d) the heirs, after receiving their share of inheritance after the death of the testator, can do with their share whoever they like. Deciding before death means everyone will start to divide their wealth in their lifetime any way they like. Then we have no need of the command in 4:11, 12, 176 which will become useless (astaghfirullah).

You are absolutely right. The inheritance rules kick in only in the absence of will of testament.
