Bismillāhi Rahmāni Rahīm  Date:   11th Ramadan, 1441 A H / 4th May, 2020 Series 2:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance): The Theories   Lesson:   61 Topic: Essence of  Al-Takhāruj (Mutual Withdrawal): Part 3   You are welcome to today's class on inheritance law in Islām! During our last two classes, we discussed the meaning, methods and principle of Al-Takhāruj in the inheritance process under Islamic law. Today, Inshā’  Allāh we are looking at the essence of Takhāruj during inheritance sharing and acquisition. It must be noted that the core value of Takhāruj principle and practice is the enthronement of  peace,  affection and order among the potential heirs and to eschew enmity from the devolution process.  The adoption of this mechanism was as the result of Sharī‘ah’s flexibility and purpose to allow consensus and settlement among the heirs. Thus, jurists believe that the applicability of this pri...

Bismillāhi Rahmāni Rahīm  Date:   6th Ramadan, 1441 A H / 29th April, 2020 Series 2:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance): The Theories   Lesson:   60 Topic: Methods  and Principles  of Al-Takhāruj (Mutual Withdrawal): Part 2   You are welcome to today's class on inheritance law in Islām! Alhamdulillāh, in our last lesson, we gave legal definition of al-Takhāruj under Islamic law. Today we are briefly looking at the methods and principles of al-Takhāruj. There are three known methods through which Takhāruj is activated; these are: i.  Takhāruj between an heir and other heir/heirs:  This involves exiting of a heir to withdraw from acquisition of his rightful share of inheritance.  ii.  Takhāruj for Exchange: This involves the exit of a heir from certain estate in return for something else from remaining Tarikah(Property). iii.  Takhāruj for Compensation: This involves the consensus agreemen...

Bismillāhi Rahmāni Rahīm  Date:   4th Ramadan, 1441 A H / 27th April, 2020 Series 2:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance): The Theories   Lesson:   59 Topic: Al-Takhāruj (Mutual Withdrawal): Part 1   You are welcome to today's class on inheritance law in Islām!!! Under Sharī‘ah, the core value of Islamic law of inheritance is the institutionalisation of happiness, equality and peaceful co-existence among the heirs of a deceased’s Muslim.  One of such means through which peace and stability is achieved is the activation of Al-Takhāruj. According to scholars, Al-Takhāruj means exiting, mutual withdrawal or abstinence from inheritance acquisition. Legally, it means peaceful mechanism of withdrawal or abstinence by a legitimate heir with full consent and approval from acquiring his or her rightful shares from the estate of the Mawrūth in order to prevent enmity, altercation and stalemate in estate devolution.  Takhāru...

In our last three classes, we have been able to look at the definition of Al-Mafqūd under Islamic legal context and some Islamic ruling as regards the inheritance of a missing person or missing heir. We have discussed the legal waiting period and the portion of a missing person as an heir under Islamic law. Today, Inshā Allāh, we are looking at the appearance of Al-Mafqūd and the status of Al-Mafqūd ‘s wife or wives: Appearance of Mafqūd-  If a declared missing person has been judicially  pronounced dead by  Sharī‘ah Court  or any recognized  court of   law and his properties devolved among his legitimate heirs, ...

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...

In this regards, the inheritance rights of a missing person has also been appropriated according to Shari ‘ah to eschew enmity among the blood relations.  Therefore, who is a missing person? Under Islamic law, a missing person is known as al-Mafqūd. This is legally defined as someone whose whereabouts are unknown and it is not certain whether he ...
