How can one respond to the misconception that the verse on inheritance in Surat An-Nisa, specifically Allah’s saying: (Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females. But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of what he left. And if there is only one, for her is half) is interpreted based on the number of females, and that the male takes a share equal to that of a single female if there are two females, and that the statement "for the male, what is equal to the share of two females" does not mean like the share of two females combined?

The interpretation of the Quran should only be taken from specialized scholars, and no attention should be paid to anyone who claims a new understanding of the verses that contradicts the inherited understanding of the Ummah throughout centuries, especially since such claims lead to error.

The Quranic verse: ﴿Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females﴾ refers to the division of inheritance between male and female children, where the male takes double the share of the female if there are no other heirs of the deceased, and this includes both minors and adults. Al-Tabari explained this by stating that Allah clarifies how inheritance is to be distributed after the death of the deceased, in response to the pre-Islamic custom that did not grant inheritance to minors or women.

As for the verse: ﴿But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two-thirds of what he left﴾, this means that if the deceased's daughters are more than two, they receive two-thirds of the inheritance, provided there is no male child with them.

This interpretation of the female's inheritance alongside the male is firmly established by the consensus of the Ummah, with no dispute or disagreement regarding it. The Ummah has inherited this knowledge and acted upon it throughout centuries. This has been affirmed by scholars of the Ummah such as Ibn Hazm and Ibn Taymiyyah.
