I am a father to a beautiful daughter and no law would stop me from giving everything i have to her. Few verses of Quran that should make all Muslims proud
“For men there is a share from what their parents and close relatives leave, and for women there is a share from what their parents and close relatives leave, be it little or considerable; a definite share.” Surah Nisa’ 4:7
“Allah charges you in regard with your children: a son’s share is equal to the share of two daughters; if the [children] are [only] daughters and two or more, their share is two thirds of the legacy, and if there is only one daughter, her share is half [of the legacy]; and each of the parents inherit one-sixth of the legacy if the deceased had children, and if the deceased had no children and the parents are the only heirs, the mother inherits one-third; if the deceased had brothers, the mother inherits one-sixth; [all this is] after executing the will and settling the debts of the deceased. You do not know which of your parents and children benefit you the most. This is Allah’s injunction; surely Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.” Surah Nisa’ 4:11
To all who are curious Surah Al Nisa is all about women rights.
Beautiful post, and the most important detail is this:
[all this is] after executing the will and settling the debts of the deceased.
How often we forget this and just forgive the individual, our scholars have done a dis-service by not teaching the proper value of inheritance, and settling one's debts before leaving.
