Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not issue any legal ruling from his own desire; rather, he would act upon and have others act upon the ruling that was revealed through revelation.
➋ The laws of inheritance are based on textual evidences; analogy (qiyas) does not apply to them.
➌ One should be mindful to show the utmost good conduct towards neighbors.
