Commentary
The Arabic word Al-Farā'id is the plural of Farīdah meaning an enjoined ordinance or a duty prescribed (prescribed by Allāh). Since the shares of inheritors are meticulously determined and described in the Sharī'ah, the science dealing with these laws is known as Ilm Al-Farā'id (Laws of Inheritance). There are numerous Aḥādīth concerning the learning and teaching of the laws of inheritance in Islam.
