The myth of unjust inheritance to women in Islam 💰👩🧑‍🦱

In fact, the woman and man inheritance are equal in many cases, and in countless other cases the women inherits more than the man!
and in only 4 cases the man inherits more than the women.

So the myth that the inheritance of the women is always less is wrong.
Moreover , sometimes the woman inherits while the man inherits none.

Moreover ,
Islam was actually the first religion to give women rights of inheritance. Meanwhile, women in America and Europe were denied the right to own and manage property until the 18th century.

That’s not what I know. In Islam the sister inherits less than her brothers which bothers me.

@SW-User
That is one of the 4 cases
Where the man inherits more.

And not because the man is better in any way
But because when the parents die
The brother is now responsible to take care of his siblings etc finically not the sister for her , her money is hers and hers only.
Moreover , he will eventually need to pay dowry when he gets married and not the sister the sister is the one who will receive dowry when she gets married.

However ,
There are cases where both inherit the same
And other cases where the woman inherits more than the man
It depends on the responsibilities and relationship to the deceased
Not the myth of gender superiority

Inheritance is a whole science in Islam

@Islamreligion I don’t know but I heard it’s haram for the parents to give the daughter the same amount in inheritance as the son. My mother is the only child of her mother but her cousins say she is not supposed to receive her all mother’s inheritance. They think her living sister should have a share of my grandmothers land which I think is totally wrong and unfair. Her sister never liked her and wasn’t very kind to her while she was living. My mother’s aunt already has her share and shouldn’t take any of my grandmothers land.
