pls dont post this into the other sections…

i came across a issue in a family, where these people dont implement shariah law in their lives, they dont even approve of some things in it, or atleast wouldnt do it themselves, are not practising muslims, hardly.

yet when it came to inheritance, all the brothers and sisters,( KIDS OF DECEASED) would have this bigg meeting weekly to figure out what to do with the money left behind, and all of a sudden shariah law is mentioned and thats what the brothers are wanting…one brother in part who almost sounds like hes anti-islam at times…ive noticed to gain money, people use sharia law as a ground to be greedy…otherwise the law is ignored.

whys this…
im pretty sure most people are like this, are you? would you not use the law in ur day to day life, but if it came to money matters would you fight ur shariah law right ?

Lol .. of course the brothers are wanting that. As far as I know, the brothers have something to gain by implying the Sharia Law of inheritence. While in west everything is divided half-half among siblings of different gender, this is not the case in Sharia Law, where boys get 2/3 and girls get 1/3 or you may say 2:1

But it is human nature that we choose what suits us leaving behind what we dont like. Havent you see how people sort in their fruits if it is placed in an open box to get the fruit they want. Thats the same case with religion nowadays, when suited it is implied, when not it is thrown out of the window. Ask any girl about join system and she will be fast in refering to Islam and her rights to have a seperate house, ask the same girl about hijaab and pardah and she will shy away with excuzes like “each to his own”-bla bla. **
