GE Bill and the Islamic Laws of Inheritance

When a Muslim dies there are four duties which need to be performed, viz:
1.  payment of his funeral expenses
2.  payment of his/ her debts
3.  execution his/ her will
4.  distribution of remaining estate amongst the heirs according to Sharia
After 1, 2, 3 there might be no estate left to distribute or perhaps there is for the very very few wealthy Nigerians of Northern and Southern extraction. How many Christians and Muslims are leaving inheritances.  What  inheritance did our forebears leave. Yes Mariam Wali what did Daddy leave behind apart from LL.B (Hons)? So the emphasis is education to Sons and Daughters in equal proportion. I know a good Muslim his daughter got her LL.B and next he announced on his Facebook that she would proceed to LL.M immediately. He is the current President of the Nigerian Bar Association. Yes the best gift you bequeath to your child is school and school and school.

So His Majesty the Sultan we ask to help this Bill pass made controversial with a recent charge to NASS not to pass it.

My Muslim name  is Amina and I approve this message.
CA, Empower Women @ UN Women Champion for Change to deploy persuasive public interest advocacy campaigns to please pass GE Bill.
