It explores key issues surrounding the distribution of estates among heirs – such as women's inheritance rights, the position of children and grandchildren, the question of gender, and differences of religion – and sets them within the context of today's nuclear family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on evidence from the major schools of Islamic jurisprudence, as well as on current thinking, the author analyses how inheritance rules have been interpreted and applied over time. He also considers why reform may be necessary today and how thoughtful legal development could help better reflect the needs and realities of contemporary Muslim communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
