The disabled or weak child is to be taken into account through bequest, not inheritance
Editorial verification status: This atom is extracted from an explanatory audiovisual source, and it has now been linked to the closest books within the Shahrur project at the book level. For precise academic quotation, consult the original book and the original episode together.
Formulation of the claim
Shahrur says that a disabled, young, or weak child may need special consideration in the bequest, something that the general law of inheritance does not allow.
Explanation
He uses the example of a disabled son to show that inheritance cannot give him more merely because he is weaker or in greater need.
By contrast, the bequest allows this son to be given what suits his real circumstances.
For this reason, he reiterates that the bequest is more suitable for individual cases than inheritance.
The idea here is not to favor one person over another, but to respond to a specific circumstance.
Its place in the episode’s argument
This example brings the theory closer to reality and makes the priority of the bequest practically understandable.
It supports his argument against relying on inheritance alone as a one-size-fits-all solution.
Limits of the claim
This does not mean that inheritance is not used, but rather that it is not sufficient on its own in special cases.
Brief witness
“Maybe someone has a disabled son"
