Benefits and Issues:
The aforementioned narration has been declared weak in its chain by our esteemed researcher, while other scholars have graded it as hasan.
For details, see: (Al-Irwa’ by Al-Albani, no. 1596)
Therefore, if the deceased has one daughter, that daughter receives half of the inheritance. Accordingly, in the above-mentioned incident, the deceased’s daughter was given half of the estate.
The remainder was the right of the ‘asaba (agnatic heir), which was given to the female Companion (radi Allahu anha) who had set the deceased free, because the deceased had no other ‘asaba.
