If someone died and left sons and daughters, when there are a lot of possessions in the estate, the sons should inherit and the daughters should be supported. If there are very few possessions, the daughters should be supported and the sons should go begging.

We explore more inheritance laws as well as the Islamic attitudes to inheritance.
