seek to provide evidence for their own claims by analyzing verses
describing the distribution of inheritance separately instead of as a
coherent whole. Yet inheritance law is actually another sign of how
women are protected in the Qur'an.

The verses about women's share of inheritance are as follows:

Men receive a share of what their parents and rel-

atives leave and women receive a share of what

their parents and relatives leave, a fixed share, no
matter whether it is a little or a lot. (Qur'an, 4:7)

God instructs you regarding your children: A male
receives the same as the share of two females. If

there are more than two daughters they receive two-

thirds of what you leave. If she is one on her own
she receives a half. Each of your parents receives a

sixth of what you leave if you have children. If you

are childless and your heirs are your parents your
mother receives a third. If you have brothers or

sisters your mother receives a sixth, after any bequest

you make or any debts. With regard to your fathers
and your sons, you do not know which of them is

going to benefit you more. These are obligatory
shares from God. God is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

(Qur'an, 4:11)
