Q: A man claims that some rulings of Shari`ah should be re­examined and adjusted because they do not suit this time, such as the ruling of the share of a man's inheritance which it is twice the share of a woman. What is the ruling of Shari`ah regarding this? S. F. Cairo.
The rulings that Allah (Exalted be He) prescribed for His servants and explained in the Qur'an or by the honest Messenger (peace be upon him) including rulings of inheritance, five Salahs (prayers), Zakah (obligatory charity), Sawm (fasting) and the like which Allah clarified for His worshippers and the scholars of Muslim nation approved, are not liable to objection or change on the part of people. They are prescribed according to Allah's perfect Shari`ah for all times from that of the Prophet (peace be upon him) until the Last Day. Among the rulings of Shari`ah are giving male children, the children of the son, half brother and father an extra share in comparison to their female counterparts which was elaborated on by the Glorious Book and agreed upon by all Muslim scholars. It is obligatory to act accordingly out of firm belief. Whoever claims that other rulings are better than the rulings of Allah (Exalted be He), is a disbeliever. Likewise, whoever tolerates to act upon rulings other than that of Allah (Exalted be He) is a disbeliever, for he objects to Allah, His Messenger, and the consensus of all Muslims. The ruler should command such a person to repent from these disbelieving claims, if he/she is a Muslim. He has to repent or he must be killed as an apostate. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ''If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion (Islam), kill him." We invoke Allah to protect us from the misleading troubles and from contradicting the noble Shari`ah.
