00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			The 16th most common question that
is there in the minds of non
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:12
			Muslims is that why does a woman
inherit half of that of man?
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			Does Islam degrade the woman?
Allah subhanaw taala talks about
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			inheritance in many places into
the baccarat chapter number two
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			was from 180 to the baccarat
chapter number two was number 240.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			So the Nyssa chapter number four
was from seven to nine. So in this
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			chapter number four was number 19.
So then this chapter I'm forced to
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			mentally three, as well as to
remind that chapter number five
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			was 206 208.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			These are the verses where Allah
subhanaw taala talks about
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			inheritance.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			And one verse of the Quran
specifically talks about the
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			shares to be stipulated. In Surah
Nisa, chapter number four was the
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			11 and 12, that asked for the
inheritance of your children,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:59
			the male will inherit double the
share of the female, and if there
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:04
			are only daughters, then they will
share among to third. Whereas if
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			there's only one daughter, then
she will get half the share.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			Whereas if there are children,
then the parents each will share
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			one six, if there are no children,
the mother she will get 1/3.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:23
			Whereas if they are brothers and
sisters, the mother will get one
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:23
			six.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			And the next was Allah subhanaw
taala talks. So in this chapter
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			four, verse 12, that if your wife
dies,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37
			in what your wife leaves behind,
if she dies, the husband gets half
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			the share. If there are no
children, and if there are
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:45
			children, he gets one foot,
whereas the wife she gets one foot
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			if there are no children, whereas
if the children the wife, she gets
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			one, eight.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:55
			So generally, in Islam, a woman
inherits half the share of that of
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			the male. But there are certain
cases where in a woman inherits
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			exactly the same share as the
male. If there are children, the
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			mother and father get one six,
whereas it the brothers and
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:10
			sisters that are left behind the
brothers and sisters get one six.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:16
			So generally, based upon this in
Islam, many times, the female
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			inherits exactly the same share as
the male. And there are certain
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			cases when a female inherits
double the share of the male
