About This Book

Islamic Law of Succession explains how an estate is divided under Islamic law so that each rightful heir receives his or her share. Although inheritance affects nearly every family, clear books on the subject in English are not easy to find.

The book gives an overview of the whole subject according to the four main schools of Islamic jurisprudence. Key points are highlighted in the text, and diagrams and charts are used to make the shares and rules easier to follow.
