Al-Muwatta Hadith<br />

Hadith 27.0c<br />

Inheritance of Fathers and Mothers from Children<br />

Malik said, -The generally agreed on way of doing things among us about which there is no dispute and what I have seen the<br />

people of knowledge in our city doing is that when a father inherits from a son or a daughter and the deceased leaves<br />

children, or grandchildren through a son, the father has a fixed share of one sixth. If the deceased does leave any children or<br />

male grandchildren through a son, the apportioning begins with those with whom the father shares in the fixed shares. They<br />

are given their fixed shares. If a sixth or more is left over, the sixth and what is above it is given to the father, and if there is<br />

less than a sixth left, the father is given his sixth as a fixed share, (i.e. the other shares are adjusted.)<br />

"The inheritance of a mother from her child, if her son or daughter dies and leaves children or male or female grandchildren<br />

through a son, or leaves two or more full or half siblings is a sixth. If the deceased does not leave any children or<br />

grandchildren through a son, or two or more siblings, the mother has a whole third except in two cases. One of them is if a<br />

man dies and leaves a wife and both parents. The wife has a fourth, the mother a third of what remains, (which is a fourth of<br />

the capital). The other is if a wife dies and leaves a husband and both parents. The husband gets half, and the mother a third<br />

of what remains, (which is a sixth of the capital). That is because Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, says in His Book, 'His two<br />

parents each have a sixth of what he leaves if he has children. If he does not have children, and his parents inherit from him,<br />

his mother has a third. If he has siblings, the mother has a sixth.' (Sura 4 ayat 11). The sunna is that the siblings be two or<br />

more."<br />

SHOES:<br />

20:12 - Verily I am thy Lord! Therefore (in My presence) put off thy shoes: thou art in the sacred<br />

valley Tuwa. 25432544<br />

2543 The shoes are to be put off as a mark of respect. Moses was now to put away his mere worldly interests, he having<br />

been chosen by Allah, the Most High. (20.12)<br />

2544 This was the valley just below Mount Sinai, where subsequently he was to receive the Torah. (20.12)<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 4.68b<br />

Taking Off Shoes in Cemeteries<br />

Most scholars are of the opinion that it is permissible to wear shoes in a cemetery. Jarir ibn Hazim said: "I saw al-Hasan and<br />

Ibn Sirin walking with their shoes on in a cemetery." Anas reported: "The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 'When a servant<br />

of Allah is put into a grave and his companions leave, he can hear the sound of their sandals'.'' (Reported by Bukhari,<br />

Muslim. Abu Daw'ud, and Nasa'i) The scholars deduce from this hadith that it is permissible to walk in a cemetery with one's<br />

shoes on since the only way the dead would hear the sound of their sandals is when they were wearing them.<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 5.50<br />

A Man Without Garb or Shoes for Ihram<br />

A person who has no proper garb and shoes for Hajj may wear whatever is available to him. Ibn 'Abbas<br />

reported that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) delivered a sermon at 'Arafah saying, "A Muslim<br />

(pilgrim) who finds no suitable garb (for ihram), may wear trousers, and if he finds no suitable slippers, he<br />

may wear shoes." (This is in the case of a man who finds these things are either not available, or he has no<br />

extra money to buy them) This is reported by Ahmad, Bukhari and Muslim. In Ahmad's narration from 'Ata<br />

ibn Dinar we read that Aba Al-Sha'sha informed him that Ibn 'Abbas heard the Prophet (peace be upon him)<br />

saying, "He who finds no garb (for ihram), but has trousers, he may wear them, and he who finds no<br />

(suitable) slippers but has shoes, he may wear them." At this I (Aba Al-Sha'sha) asked him: "And did he say<br />

anything about cutting them?" Ibn 'Abbas said: "No."<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 1.15b<br />

Purifying shoes<br />

Shoes may be purified by rubbing them against the ground, as long as the remains of the impurity are removed. Abu Hurairah<br />

narrated that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said, "If one of you stepped in some filth, the dirt will purify his<br />

shoes." Related by Abu Dawud. In another narration it states, "If one of you steps in some filth with his shoes on, the dirt will<br />

purify them." Abu Sa'eed reported the Prophet, upon whom be peace, saying, "When a person comes to the mosque, he<br />

should look at his shoes. If he finds any filth on them, he should wipe them against the ground and pray in them." (Related by<br />

Ahmad and Abu Dawud.) Since shoes are repeatedly exposed to filth, it is sufficient just to wipe them against the ground.<br />
