The question

What is the ruling on denying the Hadith "Give the Fara'id (allotted shares) to their rightful recipients..." on the grounds that it contradicts the Qur'an, and that the Almighty's saying, "And if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of what he left," includes males, and on not acknowledging 'asabah (agnatic heirs) at all, and on citing the Almighty's saying, "And for his parents, each one of them is to have a sixth of what he left if he has a child," as an argument that "child" includes both male and female?

The answer

Rejecting the , "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them; then whatever remains is for the closest male," is either due to believing in its weakness, which contradicts the consensus of the Ummah on its authenticity and implementation, or due to believing in its authenticity but rejecting it on the pretext that the Qur'an does not explicitly state it. This is a grave deviation, as the affirmation of this hadith does not contradict the verses of inheritance; rather, it confirms and complements them in matters not explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an. Opposing the path of the believers in affirming 'asabah (agnatic inheritance) is a deviation and misguidance. And the statement of whoever claims that "women" in the verse of inheritance includes males indicates the deviation of their understanding and their following of those who call themselves "Qur'anists."
