Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
The initial form of brotherhood (mu’akhah) and fraternity was such that they would also become heirs to one another. Then, this arrangement was abrogated, and only the real heirs were made deserving of inheritance. However, Islamic brotherhood was maintained. Therefore, in those ahadith where the negation of alliance (half) and brotherhood is mentioned, what is meant is the negation of becoming heirs to one another.
