00:00In Islam, it is very clear that daughters and housewives have to be given a share in inheritance.
00:07But even now, in Pakistan, according to an estimated estimate,
00:1190% of such cases are where women are not given a share in inheritance.
00:16There are some surveys that point to this.
00:19A very important judgment has come forward.
00:21And what does that judgment say in this regard?
00:23The four-way bench, including Justice Iqbal Hameed-ur-Rehman,
00:27has said that any ritual on the basis of which any member of a family is deprived of the right to inheritance
00:37has no legal status.
00:39The 21-page judgment of the Law Enforcement Judiciary
00:42in some parts of the Banu district,
00:44was against the custom of raij, chadar or parchi,
00:47in which women were deprived of the right to inheritance given through the Quran and Sunnah.
00:53The Judiciary declared this practice to be un-Islamic and un-legal
00:57and said that such criminal acts can be punished.
01:00In the judgment of the Law Enforcement Judiciary, it was said that
01:03traditions such as chadar and parchi are against the rights given to women in the Quran and Sunnah.
01:08Women are also deprived of the right to inheritance under social pressure
01:12against Islamic orders and laws.
01:15The Law Enforcement Judiciary,
01:17under section 498 of the Quran,
01:20has said that women are deprived of the right to inheritance
01:23under the Quran and Sunnah.
01:25The Judiciary has said that
01:27traditions such as chadar and parchi are against the rights given to women in the Quran and Sunnah.
01:34This is a common practice there.
01:36However, according to the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
01:38such customs and traditions are not permissible
01:40nor do they have any significance.
01:42Requested by Fauzia Jalal Shah,
01:44the Surah Nisa verses 7, 11, 12 and 14
01:48discuss the issue of women's right to inheritance.
01:52Muslims have been instructed that
01:54according to these verses,
01:56every legal heir of the deceased should be given the right to inheritance.
02:00In the judgment of the Law Enforcement Judiciary,
02:02it was also said that
02:03before Islam, in the age of ignorance,
02:05women were deprived of the right to inheritance.
02:08Pick and choose.
02:10Whenever we talk about a celebrity,
02:12an influencer or an opinion maker,
02:14after some time,
02:16they come up with controversial interviews
02:18where they talk about the number of marriages.
02:21And they talk about a certain type of injunctions,
02:25but you will never hear about such injunctions
02:28where women are given the right to inheritance.
02:32You will only hear about those things
02:35that are beneficial to them.
02:37They will only act on those things
02:39where they have to give inheritance
02:41and from their share,
02:42they have to give money or property to their sister, daughter or any woman.
02:46You will never hear about that.
02:48The program is over.
02:49Don't forget to give your feedback.
02:50Take care.
02:51Good bye.
