Sons Get 2x the Inheritance of Daughters | Quran 4:11 | Misunderstood Quranic Verses | Shabir Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally addresses Quran 4:11, which prescribes that a son should receive twice the inheritance share of a daughter. Dr. Shabir explains that this verse is commonly perceived as a timeless and literal rule, but in reality, it was context-specific to the societal conditions at the time of the Quran's revelation. Historically, men were responsible for the financial care of their female relatives, justifying their larger inheritance share. However, as societal norms have evolved towards greater gender equality, Dr. Shabir suggests that Muslim scholars should re-evaluate the application of this verse, capturing the spirit of fairness and justice intended by the Quran while considering contemporary circumstances. This may involve modifying traditional interpretations to ensure they align with the Quran's overarching principles in today's world.
