Why does a woman inherit half the share of a man in inheritance?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah Himself took charge of the division of inheritance among the heirs, and He made the share of the daughter and the son's daughter half the share of the son and the son's son. This division is just and not oppressive, because Allah commands justice.
