Why do the human laws of inheritance fail to ensure the justice?
Verse 11 of Chapter 4:
As regards
inheritance, Allah enjoins you concerning your children that: The
share of the male shall be twice that of the female.
In case the heirs be more than two females, their total share
shall be two-thirds of the whole and if there be only one daughter, her share
shall be half of the whole. If the deceased has children, each of his
parents shall get one-sixth of the whole,
but if he be childless and his parents alone are his heirs,
the mother shall have one-third of the whole. If the deceased has brothers and sisters also, the mother
shall be entitled to one-sixth of the whole.
The division of all these shares shall take place only after
fulfilling the terms of the will and after the payment of the debt
(if any). As regards your parents and your children, you do
not know who is more beneficial to you. Allah has apportioned these
shares and most surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
