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….
