Buy The Islamic Law of Succession

The Islamic Law of Succession by Dr. A. Hussain is a detailed English reference on Islamic inheritance (Mirāth) and succession law according to Shariah (Islamic jurisprudence). Inheritance in Islam is a divinely ordained legal system to ensure every eligible heir receives their due share based on Qur’anic injunctions and Prophetic guidance, yet it is also one of the most complex areas of Islamic law that traditional texts rarely cover in depth. This book fills that gap by offering a comprehensive overview of succession law in clear and unambiguous language, drawing on the four major Sunni schools of jurisprudence so that readers can learn the principles, rules, and practical application of inheritance distribution correctly. The author includes descriptive diagrams and charts to make the complicated division rules more understandable for students, scholars, and everyday Muslims.
