Sunan Abi Dawud 2890 (Book 19, Hadith 6) #23180
Inheritance Distribution

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the inheritance of a daughter, son's daughter and full sister. It states that the daughter gets half, the son's daughter gets a sixth and what remains goes to the full sister.

Narrated Huzail b. Shurahbil al-Awadi: A man came to Abu Musa al-Ash'ari and Salman b. Rabi'ah, and asked about a case where there were a daughter, a son's daughter and full sister. They replied: The daughter gets half and the full gets half. The son's daughter gets nothing. Go to Ibn Mas'ud and you will find that he agrees with me. So the man came to him and informed him about their opinion. He said: I would then be in error and not be one of those who are rightly guided. But I decide concerning the matter as the Messenger of Allah did: The daughter gets half, and the son's daughter gets a share which complete thirds (ie gets a sixth), and what remain to the full sister".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ الأَوْدِيِّ، عَنْ هُزَيْلِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ الأَوْدِيِّ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ وَسَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ فَسَأَلَهُمَا عَنِ ابْنَةٍ وَابْنَةِ ابْنٍ وَأُخْتٍ، لأَبٍ وَأُمٍّ فَقَالاَ لاِبْنَتِهِ النِّصْفُ وَلِلأُخْتِ مِنَ الأَبِ وَالأُمِّ النِّصْفُ وَلَمْ يُوَرِّثَا ابْنَةَ الاِبْنِ شَيْئًا وَأْتِ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَإِنَّهُ سَيُتَابِعُنَا فَأَتَاهُ الرَّجُلُ فَسَأَلَهُ وَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِهِمَا فَقَالَ لَقَدْ ضَلَلْتُ إِذًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَلَكِنِّي سَأَقْضِي فِيهَا بِقَضَاءِ النَّبِيِّ لاِبْنَتِهِ النِّصْفُ وَلاِبْنَةِ الاِبْنِ سَهْمٌ تَكْمِلَةُ الثُّلُثَيْنِ وَمَا بَقِيَ فَلِلأُخْتِ مِنَ الأَبِ وَالأُمِّ

QUICK LESSONS:

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses how inheritance should be distributed among family members. According to this hadith, when there is a daughter, son’s daughter and full sister involved in an inheritance case, then the daughter should get half of it while the son’s daughter should get one sixth of it. The remaining amount will go to the full sister. This was decided by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself as mentioned in this hadith. This shows us that Islam gives importance to both daughters and sons when it comes to inheritance distribution which is why they are both given their due share in such cases. It also teaches us that we must follow Prophet Muhammad ﷺ’s teachings even if others disagree with them because he was guided by Allah SWT Himself so his decisions were always correct and just according to Islamic law.
