only daughters, two or more, their
share is two-thirds of the inheritance…”

Muslims can’t change the Divine laws
Needless to say Muslims must follow all the commandments of Allah (SWT)
as Allah the Almighty says, "It is not for
a believer, man or woman, when Allah
and His Messenger have decreed a
matter that they should have any
opinion in their decision." [Quran 33:36]

The Islamic Law is highly praised
The leading British university Professor
Almaric Rumsey from Kings College in
London, England says: “The e Muslim
law of inheritance comprises beyond
question the most refined and elaborate
set of rules for the devolution of property
that is known to the western world.”

The Female’s inheritance in the Bible
In the Bible the daughter only inherits
when no sons exist. Also, the oldest
son inherits double the younger son’s,
This is shown in Numbers 27
www.knowmuhammad.org
8 If a man dies and leaves no son, turn his
inheritance over to his daughter.
9 If he has no daughter, give his inheritance
to his brothers. 10 If he has no brothers,
give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
11 If his father had no brothers, give his
inheritance to the nearest relative in his
clan. Numbers 27

Even no Equality between brothers
Deuteronomy 21
15 If a man has two wives, and he loves
one but not the other, and both bear
him sons but the firstborn is the son of
the wife he does not love .

Deuteronomy 21 to Con .
16 when he wills his property to his
sons, he must not give the rights of the
firstborn to the son of the wife he loves
in preference to his actual firstborn, the
son of the wife he does not love.

The Biblical attitude Criticized
The Biblical attitude has been succinctly
described by Rabbi Epstein: "The
continuous and unbroken tradition
since the Biblical days gives the female
members of the household, wife and
daughters, no right of succession to the
family estate
www.knowmuhammad.org
The Biblical attitude Criticized
In the more primitive scheme of
succession, the female members of
the family were considered part of
the estate and as remote from the
legal personality of an heir as the slave.
www.knowmuhammad.org
Females are inherited:
Rabbi Epstein says : "They are owned --
before marriage, by the father; after
marriage, by the husband“.
Also remember, according to the Bible,
a father can sell his daughters.
www.knowmuhammad.org
Conclusion:
It is quite clear that in Islam, the man is
responsible for the women of his
immediate family. Also, the parents of
the deceased, his wife and children all
inherit.
www.knowmuhammad.org
Conclusion Cont:
In the Bible, the widow and the
deceased parents inherit nothing as
long as children exist. And if sons exist,
then daughters inherit nothing. And
the oldest son gets double the younger
son.
