31. Inheritance
٣١۔ كِتَابُ الْفَرَائِضِ
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Give the Fara'id (the shares of the inheritance that are prescribed in the Qur'an) to those who are entitled to receive it. Then whatever remains, should be given to the closest male relative of the deceased ." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6732)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلْحِقُوا الْفَرَائِضَ بِأَهْلِهَا فَمَا بَقِيَ فَهُوَ لِأَوْلَى رَجُلٍ ذَكَرٍ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Attach the wealth to the obligations, for whatever is left of the obligations is the rightful possession of the person who remembers." Abu Abdur-Rahman Sufyan Ath-Thawri said, "I have memorized more from Wahib, and Wahib is trustworthy and reliable. It is as if the narration of Ath-Thawri is more accurate."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلْحِقُوا الْمَالَ بِالْفَرَائِضِ فَمَا تَرَكَتِ الْفَرَائِضُ فَأَوْلَى رَجُلٍ ذَكَرٍ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ أَحْفَظُ مِنْ وُهَيْبٍ وَوُهَيْبٌ ثِقَةٌ مَأْمُونٌ وَكَأَنَّ حَدِيثَ الثَّوْرِيِّ أَشْبَهُ بِالصَّوَابِ
