Al-Radd ( Shares Redistribution or Return of Residue): Part 1

 Bismillāhi Raḥmāni Raḥīm 
Date:   25th Shawwal, 1441 A H / 17th June, 2020
Subject:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance) 
Lesson:   67
Topic: Al-Radd (Shares Redistribution or Return of Residue): Part 1
In our last three classes, we discussed the doctrine of Al-‘Awl (Share Aggravation) and its effects on inheritance distribution. Today, Inshā’ Allāh, we are starting the lessons on Al-Radd doctrine which is an exact opposite of Al-‘Awl.
Al-Radd implies a situation where the fixed shares given to the heirs did not exhaust the whole estate of the deceased. It happens after which the fixed sharers had taken their legitimate shares but there is residue (remnant) and no residuary/agnate heirs (al-‘Asabāh) is available to inherit the residue. If such case arises, the estate will be returned and re-distributed among the Ashāb al- Furūd (fixed sharers) in the same proportion of their respective shares as enshrined in the Qur’ān.   
In legal term, Al-Radd denotes a mathematical process through which the excess portion of a sufficiently distributed estate are redistributed to the Qur’ānic heirs, with the exception of the spouse(s) and it can only occur in the absence of agnatic heirs (al-‘Asabāh- the residuary). An example of al-Radd case is of a deceased who exclusively leaves two daughters as the only heirs. They are jointly entitled to thuluthān (two-third) of the estate but there will be a residue of one-third (thuluth). With the absence of the residuary or agnates, the remnant estate (one-third) will be returned for re-distribution among the two daughters; hence, their shares will become half each to exhaust the whole estate.
Inshā’ Allāh, the class continues…..

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 (
