Grand Mufti of Egypt: “Granting women and men equal inheritance rights violates Islamic Sharia”

Nov 27, 2018 10:03 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Grand Mufti of Egypt, Shawki Ibrahim Abdel-Karim Allam, emphasized “that granting women and men equal inheritance rights violates Islamic Sharia…the concept of gender equality in inheritance is against Islam’s teachings….All inheritance laws are detailed in Quran in a clear way.”

There is no equality of male and female under Islamic law, which is not to be questioned. “Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females.” (Qur’an 4:11)

The principal religious leader in Sunni Islamic nations is the Grand Mufti, who issues fatwas and edicts, and gives opinions on religious questions and interpretations of Islamic law. People such as Linda Sarsour and other Islamic supremacists who spew anti-Americanism and hate at women’s rights rallies should try waving their fists in the face of the Grand Mufti, and other lesser Islamic jurists, over the inferior status of women.

“Granting women, men equal inheritance rights violates Islamic Sharia: Egypt’s mufti”, by MENA, Egypt Today, November 26, 2018:

CAIRO, Nov 26 (MENA) – Mufti of Egypt Shawki Allam stressed on Monday that granting women and men equal inheritance rights violates Islamic Sharia.

In a statement, the Mufti said the concept of gender equality in inheritance is against Islam’s teachings.

Islamic Sharia allows men to inherit double what a woman would receive.

In Islam, Ijtihad is not employed where authentic texts (Qur’an and Hadith) are considered unambiguous with regard to the matter in question, he said.

All inheritance laws are detailed in Quran in a clear way, he added….

    This declaration of the grand mufti of Egypt about women’s rights and Sharia law does alone expose not only expose the anti-female spirit of Sharia law but also the misogynistic essence of Islam
    For the very foundation for and of Sharia law is Islam.

    Therefore , since this is the case is stands to reason that if Islam is really the one true religion then Sharia law is also valid and just. By contrast ,if Islam is a false religion then Sharia law is invalid and unjust.
    In other words , if Islam is a false religion then Sharia law falls into total collapse

    Therefore the way for a person to discover if Islam is the one true religion or in contrast a false religion all involves the truth concerning the nature of Jesus is found in the Bible verse Isaiah 8:20. This instructs “To the law of the testimony. If they do not speak according to the word, it is because there is no light in them.” [N.K.J.V.] In other words, if a religious teacher has teaching that are in contradiction to the Word, the Bible, then that teachers is a false teacher who teaches false doctrines. The Muslim clerics, as the imam and mullahs, teach and speak doctrines about God from the Quran .
    As the Quran in 112 teaches “He is God alone: God is the eternal begetteth not…” Likewise, this religious book which is the entire foundation of and for Islam further teaches in 19:35. “It is not befitting to God that He should beget a son.” In great contrast the Bible teaches in John 1:14. “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory , the glory of the only begotten of the Father ,full of grace and truth.” Likewise John 3:16 teaches “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son… Then just a little further in verse 18 it is written about Jesus Who is “the only begotten Son of God. “ Other places in the Bible further teach that Jesus is the Son of God as in Matthew 16:15:16. Luke 1:35. John 3:36. First John 4:14. 15. 5:14,15. Moreover to be even more clear the Bible teaches that Jesus is the Son of God, Who is God the Father. As found in Matthew 3:16,17. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. Of course , it ,very much, needs to made even more specific . The Bible teaches that Jesus is also God the Son. As seen in Hebrew1:8 and First John 5:20. The imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain” this all away. As in they will try brush off all those Bible verse off by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted, through time, by Christians and that’s why the Bible reads as it does. That claim they make actually underestimate the Power of God to protect and keep His Word safe and intact ,through time, and away from the corruption of men.
    In conclusion ,with the above instruction of the way to find doctrinal truth in Isaiah 8:20 and in the light of the Bible verse provided it may be clearly seen, by all those who are willing to see, that Islam is in terrible doctrinal error and it is therefore a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6.

    This article, which is only seven sentences long, says, “Islamic Sharia allows men to inherit double what a woman would receive.”
    “Allows”? Shouldn’t the verb be “requires”?

    Elsewhere in this same Egypt Today publication is another ruling from the same Grand Mufti:

    http://www.egypttoday.com/Article/1/50341/Minimum-Zakat-to-be-paid-LE-13-Grand-Mufti

    If I am understanding this article aright, the minimum Zakat (alms) to be paid by each Muslim during the coming year is enough money to pay for 2.5 kilograms of wheat. Availing ourselves of the Internet (thank you, Al Gore!), https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/price-of-1kg-wheat.html says that good-quality dried wheat sells for $600 per ton (= 1000 kg) (minimum purchase 23 tons), so 1 kg of wheat costs $0.60, and 2.5 kg of wheat costs $1.50. Thus the minimum alms to be paid by each Muslim during the coming year comes to a dollar and a half. A bargain! (Somebody please check my data and arithmetic.)
