The science of Islamic inheritance (Farā’iḍ) is a divinely ordained system ensuring the fair and just distribution of wealth. It is one of the few areas of Islamic law explicitly detailed in the Qur’an, with specific fractions and rulings prescribed by Allah.

Despite its significance, many struggle with the intricacies of inheritance laws, including scholars and students of knowledge. This course provides a structured, accessible, and practical approach to understanding Islamic inheritance, based on the Hanafi school of thought, while also offering insights relevant to other legal schools.

Through a structured series of lessons, students will develop their understanding of Islamic inheritance and gain the ability to apply these rulings accurately in real-life scenarios. The course will focus on:

• Step-by-step explanations of inheritance rules and prescribed shares with clear supporting examples.
• Applied practice through worked inheritance cases and practical share calculations.
• Conceptual clarity supported by summaries and structured breakdowns of complex scenarios.

By the end of the course, students will be able to analyse inheritance cases confidently, calculate shares accurately, and understand the wisdom behind the Islamic system of wealth distribution.

Whether you are a student of knowledge, scholar, legal professional, or someone seeking clarity on inheritance matters, this course aims to provide the clarity and structure needed to master the science of Farā’iḍ.

This course is based on the book A Comprehensive Study of Islamic Inheritance Based on Hanafi Fiqh, compiled by (Mawlana) Muawiyah ibn Mufti Abdusamad. Please see further details of the book here: A Comprehensive Study of Islamic Inheritance
