Al-Radd (Shares Redistribution or Return of Residue) : Part 2

Bismillāhi Raḥmāni Raḥīm 
Date:   2nd Dhul-Qahdah, 1441 A H / 24th June, 2020
Subject:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance) 
Lesson:   68
Topic: Al-Radd (Shares Redistribution or Return of Residue): Part 2
In our last class, we enunciated that Al-Radd implies a situation where the fixed shares given to the heirs did not exhaust the whole estate of the deceased; and invariably, the residue needs to be redistributed among Qur’ānic heirs in the absence of agnatic heirs (al-‘Asabāh)
Today, Inshā’ Allāh, we are looking at some juridical clarifications about Al-Radd application. These are:
i.  There are proponents and opponents of al-Radd doctrines among the Jurists. The proponents argued on the basis of Q33:6 that the blood relatives have a greater right to inheritance than any stranger or the community. They include the scholars of Ḥanafī and Ḥanbalī Schools. On the other hand, the opponents of the doctrine suggested that any residue that would amount to al-Radd must be returned to public treasury .They argued that  al-Radd is tantamount  to increase in the shares prescribed and fixed by the Qur’ān and  by so doing we are exceeding the laws of Allāh.  The supporters of this School of thought include Ẓayd bn Thābit, Imām Mālik and Imām Shafi‘ī.
ii.  Some Jurists believed that all the Qur’anic heirs are entitled to benefit from al-Radd while other exclude the surviving spouse (husband or wife) and favoured the remittance of the residue to the public treasury (Bayt al-Māl) instead of the spouses. They argued that the spouses are not blood relatives and they could not have been covered under the treatment of Q33:6.   However, some scholars believed that al-Radd is permissible between husband and wife (If one of them died). 
iii.  Lastly, under classical Islamic law, some scholars believed that the sharers or heirs that are entitled to al-Radd are the mother, real grandmother, daughter, granddaughter, real sister, consanguine sister and uterine brother or sister.
Inshā’ Allāh, the lesson continue in the next class.
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...

We intend to look at the validation of Nikkāh as the basic tool that legalizes inheritance between the spouses, the intrigues of inheriting spouses who are non-Muslims, the limitation of spouses’ inheritance power because of non-blood relation as upheld by  Sharī‘ah and so on.  To start with, we as Muslims must know that Nikkāh, that is marriage is a sacred institution sanction by Allah (See Q4:3-5). Its sanctity is...
