The Islamic Law of Inheritance cover

This book covers the study of the Islamic law of succession, intestate as well as testamentary. Based on original sources, it includes the historical and theological basis of law developed by the Muslim schools of jurisprudence. The book explains clearly the Sunni and Shia law of inheritance. The points of view of all four Sunni schools of jurisprudence have been discussed in depth wherever there is divergence of opinion amongst the jurists of these schools. The author presents a comparative study between the Sunni and Shia laws of inheritance and focusses on problems being faced by Muslims, due to the strict application of traditional Islamic law in their contemporary situations.
