Latent shortcomings in section 4 of Muslim Family Law Ordinance

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

On account of a fundamental rule of inheritance under Muslim law that “a nearer in degree excludes the more remoter” the children of a predeceased son or daughter can not inherit the property of their grandfather or grandmother who is survived by a son or sons. All the schools and sub-schools of Islamic law unanimously accepted this fundamental rule. So it is evident that in the opinion of Islamic jurists the provision of representation in respect of inheritance is absence in Muslim law. As under this principle grandchildren are excluded from inheritance, different Muslim countries of the world attempted to solve this problem by taking various devices.

In Syria and morocco the children of a predeceased son who would be excluded from succession  under sharia  law ,are now entitled to either the share of their father which they would have taken ,had he survived the propositus or one third of the net estate ,whichever is  less .But till now no provision has been made for the children of the deceased ‘s daughter.

In Egypt the children of a predeceased son or daughter is entitled to  the share of their parent which they would have received ,had  he or she survived the propositus ,but within the maximum limit of one third of net estate.

Some Middle Eastern countries have adopted the device of ‘obligatory bequests’. In Libya the will act 1994 introduced obligatory bequest for orphaned grandchildren through predeceased sons. But Bangladesh and Pakistan have accepted the rule of representational succession for the orphaned grandchildren. Section 4 of Muslim family law ordinance1961 provides;

In the event of the death of any son or daughter of the propositus before opening of succession ,the children of such son or daughter ,if any ,living at the time of succession opens ,shall per stirpes receive a share equivalent to the share which such son or daughter ,as the case may be ,would have received if alive.’

According to this section a grandson or granddaughter represents his or her father or mother at the time of death of grandfather or grandmother and inherit what their parent would have inherited if alive, it is called representation. So representation means a more distant relative steps into the shoes of a nearer relative (e.g. a son representing his father) and inherits in an identical manner to the individual he represents. This doctrine of representation has brought in some cases caustic injustice to some heirs of the deceased .For the better understanding the latent injustices in section 4 of MFLO; we can discuss it by giving some examples;

Firstly; a dies leaving behind one daughter and one son’s daughter. So under Islamic law of inheritance daughter gets three-fourths and granddaughter gets one –fourth but according to this ordinance daughter gets one-third and granddaughter gets two-thirds. Only this single injustice upsets the whole community. Here both the heirs are female one is one degree nearer than the other one but nearer gets half of property of remoter. Do you think it is justice?

Secondly; under the ordinance the doctrine is applied only for the descendents of the deceased. It means the entire property which the deceased son would have inherited, if alive, goes to his children, depriving his wife and other relatives. For example; A dies leaving B, a son and D a grandson from predeceased son C and C’ s wife E. Here the property will be divided into two. B gets half and the rest half goes to D. So E is completely deprived .Is it justice?

Thirdly; the propositus dies leaving a daughter of a predeceased son and a full brother. Under MFLO, the entire property goes to son’s daughter and she completely excludes full brother. Is it not injustice?

Fourthly, Son is duty–bound to maintain his father but son’s son is not obliged to maintain his grandfather .So equal distribution among son and grandson is not justice.

Although section 4 of MFLO protected the right of grandchildren yet for the abovementioned injustices to the heirs it should be amended.

Wafa Sultan Speaks Out For Human Rights

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Millions of people have seen American psychiatrist Dr. Wafa Sultan’s debate with a Muslim cleric, which was first shown on al-Jazeera television. In 2006, TIME magazine nominated Dr. Sultan as one of the world’s most influential people. Sultan has appeared on many radio and TV shows in English, and regularly writes articles in Arabic that are read throughout the Muslim world. Her main purpose in life is to further the understanding of Islam and its effect on both the Muslim and non-Muslim world.

Born and raised a Muslim in Syria, Dr. Sultan is one of the co-founders of a group of American activists called Former Muslims United. As the name suggests, the members of FMU are apostates from Islam. Although all of them have left Islam, some remain religious or spiritual, while others do not. The one thing they have in common is that they are afraid that their apostasy will get them killed. They have formed their group in order to ensure that they are protected under the United States Constitution, which guarantees both freedom of and freedom from religion. The laws of America also make it illegal to murder someone because he or she has left his or her religion. Former Muslims United wants to make sure that these laws – and these basic human rights – are respected and that they need not live in the fear felt by millions of Muslims outside of the United States as concerns apostasy.

In this regard, it was my honor to interview Dr. Wafa Sultan about her experiences and her life’s mission. Over the years, she has demonstrated herself to be a fierce warrior for truth, taking on a fanatical ideology that is known to be harsh, brutal and cruel, especially as concerns women. I asked Dr. Sultan about her life as woman in the U.S. as compared to that in her native land, which is predominantly Muslim. Concerning Islamic or sharia law, she replied, “Under Islamic sharia, a woman is not considered a free being. She is mentally unfit to decide her own life.”

Wafa does not describe herself as an atheist; nor is she against religion or spirituality. As she also says, “My simple philosophy is, you have the right to worship a stone, so long as you don’t hit me with it.”

I also asked Dr. Sultan what her message to the American people might be, and she replied with a fourfold answer that included addressing the government, the media, academia and persons involved in interfaith dialogue. She strongly believes that everyone needs to become much better educated as to the nature of Islamic fundamentalism and its restrictions of freedoms that we Americans take for granted. While her instructions to the government require many policy changes, her message to the media is simple: “The media needs to avoid being politically correct, and be forthright in discussing brutal Islamic related news stories.”

As she battles against entrenched “religious” discrimination and brutality, Dr. Wafa Sultan is a true freedom fighter and a champion for the human rights of people worldwide.

Why Muslims can’t live peacefully in non Muslim countries?

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Muslims are demanding for Sharia law in UK. Muslim schools in India are dictating Fatwa not to recite country’s patriotic national song. French Muslim team refuses to play gay rivals. After so many such instances one is forced to cogitate why Muslims are ghettoing themselves in non Muslims countries? Why in each way of life Muslims have a different approach? After many rigorous debates with my friends I have come to 11 rationales why Muslims can’t live peacefully in non Muslim countries.

Theologically – No, Because their allegiance is to Allah and not even mother India that’s  why Deoband prohibited  Muslims to recite Vande Mataram by dictating  a Fatwa.

Religiously – No, Because no other religion is accepted by Muslims. And those who are non Muslims are infidels and destined to be annihilated.

Socially – No, Because they are prohibited to greet someone with Namaste or Namaskar as it is against Muslim laws to bow someone other than Allah.

Economically – No, Because Muslims are prohibited to take interest (reba) on debt and can’t invest in the stock markets.

Constitutionally – No, Because they do not believe in constitution of the country but Sharia laws. If a woman takes ride to someone other than his father or husband and if being raped, it is not the fault of rapist but the moron lady’s why she took the ride? And it the lady who is chastised not the rapist.

Politically- No, Because their adherence is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran and not towards their country and its functionaries.

Doctrinally – No, Because they must submit to the mullah and ulemas who teach annihilation of all infidel nations till they become Muslims.

Domestically – No, Because they are instructed to marry four women and also allowed to whip their wives even if the husbands merely fear high handedness in their wives.

Intellectually – No,  Because girls have strict edicts to wear Hijab and not to mingle with any other man except their  father or brother or husband.

Philosophically – No, Because Islam and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression.

Revelry- No cause they can’t drink wine and in the month of holy Ramdan not even outside food and how can one party without wine and dine?

After 9/11 there is a steep change in the minds of Muslims and as they are feeling more insecure and more isolated, they knowingly or unknowingly stepping towards such a path that is only augmenting their fanaticism and intolerance towards non Muslims. Bolstered by colonial oppression by the western states and post colonial betrayals by military rulers (As is the case of Pakistan, Iraq and other small African countries) and further backed by the fanatic theories of Saudi Islamic schools, Muslim society is feeling themselves in quandary over religion and to a response they are opposing each and every nook that they do not find appropriate according to Quran. This is the time when Muslim laureates should come forward and propagate the peaceful cohesion of thoughts and ideas. A more hierarchical preference is a need for cultural reform, so that they can become more in line with the liberal values of equality, freedom and brotherhood. This is the time to choose whether religion or humanism. If Muslim society gives preference to the latter one only then these 20% humans can live with the rest of the society cordially.

There are several edicts in Hinduism and Christianity that also propagate fanaticism but still major chunk of Hindus and Christians are liberal and tolerable to others ideas and thoughts and this is what Muslims should follow for the betterment of Muslims and for the betterment of 6 billion humans.
