    $1000

    After the bequest to the mosque there is $10000 to distribute to the daughters and wife, not $1000

    2/3 to daughters = $666.66
    1/8 to wife = $125.00
    surplus = $208.34

      I was looking for a reason for the rule, but you gave me an example of the application of the rule.

      And they say, "None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian." That is their wishful thinking, Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."
      Surah 2111

      The Quran endorses the Torah and the gospels. In England a Christian interpretation of these became the common law. One of the commentators of the common law said that the law is nothing but reason. A maxim of the common law is Baron Parke's rule. To paraphrase, he said that an interpretation that is absurd, repugnant, or inconsistent is not the preferred interpretation.

      Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from other than Allah , they would have found within it much contradiction.
      Surah 482

      The Koran confirms the Injeel given to Jesus. The hadith books written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are not Injeel.

      These hadith books were more numerous, but at the council held in Bursa, in Nicaea, most of these hadith books were eliminated and these few were sold to people as Injeel. In reality, they are not even related.

      In the same way, the real Torah is not on the market. The Torah and the gospels that are now on the market are human-written communist pagan hadith books.

      They are diametrically opposed to the Qur'an on many issues.

      The Qur'an already states that they hid their true books

      Surah Al-An'am 91 They could not recognise Allah in a manner worthy of His glory. For they said, "Allah has not revealed anything to man". Say "Who sent down the Book which Moses brought to mankind as a light and a guide? And you bring forth that Book in scrolls, and you keep many of them hidden. You have been taught what neither you nor your fathers knew." Say, "Allah", then let them play in the mire in which they are mired.


      3187 God took the covenant of those who were given the book "You will proclaim to the people and not conceal it." However, they threw it behind their backs and purchased with it a cheap price. Miserable indeed is what they have purchased.

        The division of inheritance realised by Allah is so simple and perfect.

        Hello, Emre

        How would you calculate the amounts for my previous example?

        For, example if a man dies with $11,000 and his will says $1000 to the mosque and the rest according to the Quran, what amount should his three daughters get, and what amount should his wife get? There are no other relatives.

            I've started another thread for discussion of the other books.

              wife 1250 , daughters 8750 Dollars.

              Why do the daughters get more than their 2/3 share when the wife gets no more that her 1/8 share?

                There's no such thing as a 2/3 share in this list.

                God gives the list and the proportions.

                This rate applies if the spouse of the deceased is still alive.

                In other cases, the ratios in the other verses apply. For example, in verse 11, the spouse of the deceased is not alive and the children are left with a different ratio.

                  Why not?

                  From Surah 411

                  Allah instructs you concerning your children for the male, what is equal to the share of two females. But if there are daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of one's estate. And if there is only one, for her is half. And for one's parents, to each one of them is a sixth of his estate if he left children. But if he had no children and the parents inherit from him, then for his mother is one third. And if he had brothers , for his mother is a sixth, after any bequest he made or debt. Your parents or your children - you know not which of them are nearest to you in benefit. an obligation by Allah. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

                    In this verse there is no spouse of the deceased and therefore the list and proportions are different.

                    In verse 12, on the other hand, the deceased has wife and again the list and proportions are different.

                    In verse 176, the deceased has only brothers and sisters and again the proportions are different.

                      Yes, but that doesn't mean that verse 11 doesn't apply anymore.

                      If you exclude verse 11 when you interpret verse 12 then you have no information about how much any sons would inherit compared to daughters. This would be important if the example had sons as well as three daughters instead of three daughters and no sons.

                        Why insert only?
                        You keep promoting contradictions in the book.

                        http//www.answering-islam.org/Quran/Contra/i001.html

                        It doesn't make sense; there are no instructions for two daughters, etc. It's always in reference to situations after a will or debt. Similarly, if there's no will, meaning someone suddenly died, there's no way to distribute the excess or shortfall. Who decides who gets the excess? There are a thousand contradictions! Or you can apply correctly for thousands of each and every case!

                          No, I'm not. Discretionary settlement is not a contradiction, it simply means that individual judgement can not be replaced by a purely rule based system.

                            Yes, but that doesn't mean that verse 11 doesn't apply anymore.

                            In verse 11, the ratio of brothers and sisters among the siblings of the deceased's children and in verse 176, the ratio of brothers and sisters among the siblings of the deceased himself is given. We always see that the brother gets twice as much as the sister. In addition, when the rates of inheritance of the female spouse and the male spouse are compared, we see that the male receives twice as much as the female. In this context, we can see that what is desired in verse 12 is 2 units for a brother and 1 unit for a sister.

                              I answered your question. There is no surplus or shortfall, and it's a rule-based system. While discretion is allowed in drafting a will, there's no discretion if a person dies without a will, which triggers the inheritance verses, clearly stated from after a will or debt. Similarly, you and Emre keep inserting words like 'only' in the text, promoting a thousand contradictions, no different than that missionary site. Moreover, neither of you answers any questions posted to you, such as how much goes to exactly two daughters or three plus sisters, who gets remainder, who decides, etc.

                              Summary all thousand plus cases

                                Let me know if there are any cases for distribution, such as 1/3 to parents (1/6 each), 1/4 to the husband, and the remainder (5/12) to two daughters (or any number of daughters and/or sons).

                                  Yes, that's correct. In order to interpret a single verse the wider context must be considered.

                                  Yes, except that mother and father receive equal shares. The point is that by choosing a solution that does not involve discretionary settlement of the remainder of the estate, an arbitrary decision is made about what parts of the context are considered.

                                  Discretionary settlement is also relevant in determining how much orphans should benefit if the deceased was their sole guardian and how much the poor should receive.

                                    No, it's not arbitrary. It is clearly stated that a brother receives twice as much as a sister.

                                    Furthermore, we can see from the way the same proportions are repeated between the siblings of the children of the deceased in verse 11 and the siblings of the deceased himself in verse 176. In verse 176, even if not all of them are explained individually, we understand by looking at verse 11 where there is no need for repetition. This is because exactly the same proportions are given between the siblings (the siblings of the children in verse 11 and the siblings of the deceased himself in verse 176 take parallel proportions among themselves).

                                      It is clearly stated that a brother receives twice as much as a sister.

                                      Inapplicable if one female, two need be present.

                                      4176
                                      and if be they Ikhwatan/brethren (3+)
                                      Rijālāan/menfolk and womenfolk (3+)
                                      so to the male similar fortune the females two

                                      (3 people present — two females is minimum)

                                        Discretionary settlement is also relevant in determining how much orphans should benefit if the deceased was their sole guardian and how much the poor should receive.

                                        A woman died (no will), distribute following.
                                        How much discretionary, who determines?

                                        1/3 parents, 1/4 husband, ? two sons
                                        1/3 parents, 1/4 husband, ? two daughters

                                        ? mother, ? three brothers
                                        ? mother, ? three sisters

                                          You did not answer my question from my #942. If you have facts to the contrary then now would be a good time to show them.
