Transcript

00:00:00.000 I have some questions about the Quran. To comment on Surah No. 4, why is it said that men, boys, should get twice more heritage than women, than girls?
00:00:11.760 That's not in Surah 4, that's in Surah 2.
00:00:14.120 It's in Surah 2 as well, Surah Baqarah as well.
00:00:17.740 Oh, it's talking about the inheritance.
00:00:18.900 Inheritance, yeah, Surah Baqarah.
00:00:20.380 It must be in Surah 1 somewhere too.
00:00:22.200 Verse 282.
00:00:23.200 And, and, yeah, okay.
00:00:26.060 So the point is, it doesn't say half, by the way.
00:00:29.320 Okay, because if you calculate the proportions, if you calculate the proportions, the man is responsible for the living of the ladies of the house.
00:00:42.320 Yes.
00:00:42.760 Whether it's a mother, whether it's a wife, or a daughter, or sister.
00:00:48.260 So if a man inherits from the father, he must feed from his share, his mother, sister, wife, and daughters.
00:00:59.780 Okay?
00:01:00.720 So, he uses his share.
00:01:02.960 On the other hand, whatever women inherit from the deceased, the wife, she keeps her share.
00:01:11.220 Yes.
00:01:11.580 The mother keeps her share, the daughters keep the share.
00:01:15.040 They do not have to spend a penny from their share.
00:01:18.260 It is the responsibility of the men.
00:01:20.600 So hence the wisdom of an extra share for the men, so that they can actually sustain the family.
00:01:27.420 They can continue to sustain the family, because it's their responsibility to provide for the family.
00:01:32.360 Islamically speaking.
00:01:34.320 Can I just touch up?
00:01:35.380 Yeah, yeah.
00:01:35.600 I was recently studying this matter of inheritance.
00:01:38.200 Yeah.
00:01:38.820 Did you know that in Surah Nisa, it breaks it down, yeah?
00:01:42.760 So for example, there are the people who get 50%, yeah?
00:01:46.480 50% is the people who inherit 50%, is the husband.
00:01:50.840 If the husband is not there, it's the daughter, the granddaughter, the full sister, and the paternal sister.
00:01:55.540 That means four females get more than one man, in that specific instance.
00:02:00.720 But it gets better.
00:02:02.340 66.7%.
00:02:03.680 Who gets two thirds, yeah?
00:02:07.520 If the son, let's suppose, if I have a daughter and a son.
00:02:13.540 Imagine I have three daughters and one son.
00:02:16.180 Yes.
00:02:16.400 If my son passes away, do you know who gets 66%?
00:02:22.040 My daughters.
00:02:23.140 If my daughters are not there, my granddaughters, the full sisters and the paternal sisters.
00:02:26.860 They get more than a man.
00:02:28.820 But how many men?
00:02:30.000 Listen to this carefully.
00:02:32.140 In certain specific instances, yeah, a woman gets more than 13 male family members.
00:02:41.300 13?
00:02:41.960 13 male family members.
00:02:44.540 For example, a woman, in certain instances, gets more than the grandson, the father, the grandfather,
00:02:52.400 the full brother, the paternal brother, the maternal brother, the nephew of the full brother,
00:02:55.180 the nephew of the paternal brother, the full uncle, paternal, the half uncle, paternal,
00:02:59.060 cousin of the full uncle, the cousin of the half uncle, and the husband.
00:03:02.480 It's all according to the Quran, yeah?
00:03:03.980 According to the Quran, the Surah and Nisa, what you mentioned, yeah?
00:03:05.480 The calculations are according to that.
00:03:06.520 Yes.
00:03:06.780 So if there is no son, a woman gets more than 13 different male family members.
00:03:13.120 Yeah, that's interesting.
00:03:15.400 Yeah, that's interesting.
