dc.description.abstractRights of women in Islamic Law of Inheritance have become debatable issues across the Western and Muslim world. It is seen in the Muslim societies that many women are deprived in terms of inheriting property after the demise of their husbands. Islam has preserved a dignified position for women in family and society in all sectors. Particularly the matters relating inheritance law which have been clearly stated in the holy Qur’an and traditions of the Prophet (SAW). Therefore, this paper emphasizes on exploring Qur’anic and Prophetic stand on women’s right to inheritance. The paper also examines the main obstacles that impede women from getting inheritance share from the estate of their husbands or their parents. The method adopted in this work is doctrinal research methodology as reliance was placed on the primary and secondary sources of Islamic Law, along with jurisprudential views. The findings of this paper revealed that if the Muslim family can practice the Islamic teachings regarding the distribution of inheritance among the heirs, the existing strife, unrest and discrimination among the families will be eradicated.
