Hamba Allah
I am a law student from the university of Helsinki.
I am writing a thesis on comparing the inheritance in Pakistan and
Finland.
I have faced a few dilemmas.
I read from the Quran (4:12): If the diseaded person doesn´t have
parents
or children, but he´s got one sister and one brother, both get
1/6 of the
property of the diseased. If there are more, each sister or brother
get
their share of 1/3 so that the shares altogether are 1/3 of the property.
(excuse me the free translation, I only have a Quran in Finnish available)
Where does the rest 2/3 go? Please tell me.
Also I have read that usually according to Islamic law a person can
not
write a will for his or her heirs: the people who will inherit him.
But in
Quran 2:180 it says that everyone should write a will for the parents
relatives. I don´t understand this.
I would be most grateful for any answers you could give me.
