If there is any child to anyone, all other heirers are excluded except spouse and parents as per Quran.

 If there is any child to anyone, all other heirers are excluded except spouse and parents as per Quran ChatGPT said: You're nearly right in principle, but let me clarify it with precision: When a deceased person has children, only certain other heirs are excluded—not all. Spouses and parents always inherit , but not all other Quranic heirs are automatically excluded . The Quran does not say "all others are excluded" in such cases — this rule comes from interpretation ( fiqh ) built on the Quran and Sunnah. ✅ Heirs who are NOT excluded even when there are children: Heir Status when children exist Spouse Inherits reduced share: 1/4 for husband, 1/8 for wife (Qur’an 4:12) Mother Gets 1/6 if there are children (Qur’an 4:11) Father Always inherits; gets 1/6 fixed share and may also be a residuary (Qur’an 4:11) ❌ Heirs who are excluded when there are children: These are typically collateral relatives , not primary heirs.

If there are no fixed-share heirs, the ʿaṣabah may inherit the entire estate. Typical ʿaṣabah include: Sons (they also reduce the share of daughters to a fixed portion: 2 daughters = 2:1 wi...

Woman's Face covering is compulsory in Islam as per Quran

 Face covering is compulsory in Islam as per Quran ChatGPT said: The question of whether face covering (niqāb) is compulsory in Islam, specifically according to the Qur’an , is a matter of scholarly interpretation and not a matter of unanimous agreement . Here's a balanced explanation: ✅ What the Qur’an Says There are two main verses commonly cited in this discussion: 1. Surah An-Nur (24:31): “And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts and not to show their adornment except that which [ordinarily] appears thereof...” — Qur'an 24:31 This verse instructs women to cover their adornment (zinah) and to draw their khimār (head covering) over their chests. Scholars agree this obliges women to cover the hair, neck, and chest , but they differ on whether the face is part of "ordinarily apparent" adornment. 2. Surah Al-Ahzab (33:59): “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to brin...
