Islamic Inheritance jurisprudence is a field of Islamic Jurisprudence (Arabic: fiqh) that deals with inheritance, a topic that is prominently dealt with in the Qur'an. It is often called Mīrāth, and its branch of Islamic law is technically known as ʿulm al-farāʾiḍ (Arabic: علم الفرائض, "the science of the ordained quotas"). All Muslims are expected to follow and implement the rules of Islamic inheritance.

Famous quotes containing the word inheritance:
“A child is born with the potential ability to learn Chinese or Swahili, play a kazoo, climb a tree, make a strudel or a birdhouse, take pleasure in finding the coordinates of a star. Genetic inheritance determines a child’s abilities and weaknesses. But those who raise a child call forth from that matrix the traits and talents they consider important.”
—Emilie Buchwald (20th century)
