Inheritance according to Qur?an

[Noon waalqalami]

After going tru the tread I'm still confuse, before and after.  The short lesson here is: leave a good Will. 

Unfortunately in Malaysia, the sectarians has overruled the Quran and says the faraid (the ones the Malaysian sectarians created not the Quran's) can overrule the Will.  So many God wannabes!  In my case, I pity my children and wife who are all females, given that my wealth is to be administered by my brothers???

Peace haslan, siblings only inherit kalala case -- no spouse/children.

Yes best to draft a will 100% then nothing left; if partial will e.g. 50% distribute what left accordingly, etc.

2:180 كتب written/prescribed علىكم on you اذا when حضر comes احدكم any of you الموت the death ان if ترك left خىرا best of الوصىه the instruction/will للوالدىن to the parents dual والاقربىن and the near relatives بالمعروف in the right/fairness حقا duty of على on المتقىن the righteous

Perhaps read sentence at a time let me know which part is confusing or if you have any questions.

Real believers should liberate religion from the clutches of worldly minded petty tyrans.

Yes dire consequences punishment in this life and next regardless of wealth; reminds of the poem?

Indeed, when a pure person foregoes easy earnings through moral slackness to some he or she may look like an idiot and if the person changes his or her midn because of that she will open hell for herself, but if she keeps his or her purity she will keep heaven.

[Recluse]

The Qur'an is not a book of civil law, administrative law or criminal law...

I hope one day Muslims will understand that these are completely useless debates 

When I was a fundamentalist/literalist Qur'an only Muslim, I had tons of different tafsirs and Qur'an translations on my shelves (still have some) and was constantly trying to figure out what the magical "true meanings" of Qur'an verses were. This is a complete dead-end. These "efforts" will never solve any problems, they will never lead to anything positive in any society. They will not bring more justice or peace to Muslim countries (on the contrary). It has absolutely no benefit whatsoever to anyone anywhere. Also, without historical context there is no meaning.. Qur'an only Muslims are deceiving themselves without knowing to make the Qur'an more "palatable". It's a very innocent and naive attempt but faulty....

[Noon waalqalami]

Peace ? was there something that needs further clarification or only posting due to frustration?
Inheritance verses require logical reasoning teach to look at all related if then else statements.

Your efforts are futile, that's what I'm saying.

[Noon waalqalami]

Your efforts are futile, that's what I'm saying.

No, your efforts to dissuade and create doubt are futile.  I am content and the above verses perfectly clear ? actually beautiful akin to a computer program; then again if one never applies careful logic to each word they may never see it.

[Arman]

Brother Noon:

We had this discussions before. I still hold that the inheritance rules in Qur'an can be implemented in several ways with some core principles being hard-coded. The society has the flexibility to implement within these guiding principles. I view your interpretation as one of the several potential plausible interpretations but not the only possible option.

However just to highlight a possible confusion from the above summary.. what is your suggested distribution for 10 sons and 4 daughters assuming no other beneficiaries? Are you suggesting sons would get 1/30 each and daughters 1/6 each? That is what your second chart means for me.

Arman

Peace Arman, one can write a will hence there is the flexibility, otherwise one cannot make stuff up according to what they think it should read and likewise whatever they propose needs to be consist and not contradicting for each of the numerous combinations as in the above examples.

Yes, no confusion it's clearly written...
4:11 ... فان so if كن be نساء nisāan/womenfolk فوق fawqa/above اثنتىن two (if 3+ daughters) فلهن so for them (f/p) ثلثا third dual (1/3 x 2 = 2/3) ما what ترك left

Thanks for clarifying your understanding.

Per my reading however "إِن كُنَّ نِسَاءً فَوْقَ اثْنَتَيْنِ" translates as "If they are women more than two" rather than "If be women more than two". And the implication is vast.
