Al-'Awl (Share Aggravation Part 2)

Bismillāhi Raḥmāni Raḥīm 
Date:   16th Shawwal, 1441 A H / 8th  June, 2020
Subject:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance) 
Lesson:   65
Topic: Al-‘Awl ( The Share Aggravation): Part 2
Last week, we explained that al-‘awl means the increase in the shares of the fixed sharers (asḥāb al-furūd) from their original fixed shares and a decrease in the value of the share of the whole estate. We also said that Khalīfah ‘Umar bin Al-Khattāb was reported to have been the first Muslim Judge to adopt the doctrine of al-‘awl. 
Furthermore, we must know that the benefit of al-‘awl in inheritance distribution include the creation and fostering of kin solidarity among the legal heirs without favouritism or prejudice. It is then apposite for us also to know that al-‘awl doctrine was adopted through consensus (Ijmā‘) of some companions of the Holy Prophet in an attempt not to exclude whom Allah has included in the scheme of inheritance. Also, al-‘awl  is only applicable when the denominator of the sum of the shares is either 6, 12 or 24 which will change to 7, 8, 9 and 10 in case of (denominator 6), 13,15 and 17 in case of (denominator 12) and 27 and 31 in case (of denominator 24) respectively. We must also know that any of the Qur’anic Fixed Sharers can fall a victim of al-‘awl once a daughter, agnatic granddaughter, full sister or consanguine sister are among the heirs and also it occurs only if either the husband or the wife is present among the heirs. 
Inshā’ Allāh, we shall give practical examples of all the aforementioned principles in our next class on Wednesday.  Jazākumullāhu Khayran for reading today’s lesson.  
Yours in Islām

Inheritance of a Missing Person under Islamic Law by Abu Aisha (Part 2)

Bismillāhi Rahmāni Rahīm  Date:   21st Rajab, 1441 A H / 16th March, 2020 Series 2:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance): The Theories   Lesson:   56 Topic: Inheritance of the Missing Heir (Mīrāth Al-Mafqūd): Part 2   You are welcome to today's class on inheritance law in Islām!!! In our last class, we defined who Al-Mafqūd is. He or she is someone whose whereabouts are unknown and it is not certain whether he or she is alive or dead. We also said that there are a lot of contentious debates among the four schools of thought and various jurists as regard whether the missing person can be a beneficiary of estate devolution as a potential heir or would he or she be inherited in absence by his legal heirs.  In solving these questions, the scholars propounded verdicts on the waiting period, Al-Mafqūd’s shares as heir, appearance of Al-Mafqūd and the Iddah of Al-Mafqūd’s wife/wives. However, due to limited space, we shall be discussing the verdicts one after the other: Waiting P

Similarities and Differences between Al-wasiyyah and Common law Will (Part 3)

Bismillāhi Raḥmāni Raḥīm  Date:  7th Muharram, 1442 A H /  26th August, 2020 Subject:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance)  Lesson:   81 Topic:  Al-Waṣiyyah (Sharī‘ah-Compliant Will/Bequest): Part 7 Sub-Topic:  Similarities and Differences of Al-Waṣiyyah (Bequest) and Common Law Will (Lesson 3) Dear Participants, In our last class, we enumerated some similarities between Al-Wasiyyah and the Common law Will. Today,  Inshā Allāh, we are looking at the differences between the two and what distinguished the former from the latter as the most appropriate method of writing Will in term of content, application and appropriateness. In nutshell, some of the differences between the two are: 1. Al-Wasiyyah was divinely promulgated by Allah (See Q2: 180-182); hence, its uniformity while the Common  law Will world over was a product of man’s discretion; hence its discrepancy from a county to the other. 2. The maximum bequeathal a Muslim (Testator) can give out as testamentary disposition (
