1- Why does the male deserve the share of two females in inheritance?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah has legislated His rulings out of wisdom and for benefit. He, Glory be to Him, has undertaken the division of inheritances due to their great importance. The wisdom behind making the male’s share equal to that of two females is that the female does not need money as much as the male does; her expenses before marriage are the responsibility of her father or whoever is obligated to support her, and after marriage, they are the responsibility of her husband. Whereas the man is responsible for the expenses of children, wives, and others. The Muslim must submit to Allah’s law, whether he knows the wisdom behind it or not.
