Women’s Inheritance
What the Bible Says
(The daughters of Zeiophehad said to Moses), “Our father died .. and left no sons. Why should our
father’s name disappear from his clan because he had no son? Give us property among our father’s
relatives.” So Moses brought their case before the Lord and the Lord said to him .. “If a man dies
and leaves no son, give his inheritance over to his daughter, ff he has no daughter, give his
inheritance to his brothers. If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers. If his
father had no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, that he may possess
it.”… (Numbers 27:1-11)
What the Qur’an Says
There is a share for men and a share for women from what is left by parents and those nearest
related, whether, the property be small or large a legal share. (Qur’an, 4:7)
Allah commands you concerning your children’s (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that
of two females. (Qur’an, 4:11)
For parents (father and mother), a sixth share of inheritance to each if the deceased left children.
(Qur’an, 4:11)
Commentary
According to the laws of inheritance in the Bible, the woman has no right to inherit, whether she is
a mother, a sister, a wife or a daughter except for the daughter who has no brothers. This law was
in use until the last century and some high-class families in Europe still give most of their
possessions to the first-born son.
The woman in Islam has a share of inheritance. The daughter’s portion is half that of the son. This
share is very generous given that, in Islam, the man’s financial obligations are by far more than
those of the woman. The man gives the dowry to his wife. He pays for all the necessities of life
such as accommodation, food and clothes. He supports his parents in addition to his wife and
children. On the other hand, the wife does not have to support anyone even herself because her
husband is responsible for maintaining her, no matter how rich she Is. It is worth noting that in
some cases the woman’s share of inheritance is equal to that of the man.
Women’s Cleanness
What the Bible Says
When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven
days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening. Anything she lies on during her
period will be unclean, and anything she sets on will be unclean. … Whoever touches anything she
sits on must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening. (Leviticus
15:19-22)
When a woman has a discharge of blood for many days at a .me other than her monthly period….
She will be unclean as long as she had the discharge, … On the eighth day she
must take two doves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest … The priest is to sacrifice
one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way he will make atonement for her
before the Lord for the uncleanness of her discharge. (Leviticus 15:25-30)
What the Qur’an Says
They ask you (0 Muhammad) concerning menstruation. Say: it is Adha (harmful to the husband if
he has sexual intercourse with his wife during her period), so keep away from women during
menstruation and go not in unto them till they are cleansed. And when they have purified
themselves then go in unto them as Allah has enjoined upon you. Truly Allah loves those who turn
unto Him, and loves those who keep themselves pure and clean. (Qur’an, 2:222)
Commentary
The Bible describes woman’s period as if it is a highly contagious disease which can be passed to
other people by touch. In addition, woman’s discharge of blood is considered a sin of which a
woman has to repent!
