Summary of the Thesis

Shahrur does not confine the near relatives in the will to a narrow circle of kinship. For him, the will extends to multiple circles of ascendants, descendants, spouses, siblings, and broader kin, because its domain is special justice that takes into account the family’s actual situation.

Foundational Atoms

Place of Support Within the Book

This detail appears in the section devoted to the will and inheritance, where Shahrur explains the scope of the will and enumerates the circles of those included among the near relatives.

Limits of the Reading

This structure does not abolish the laws of inheritance; rather, it places the will in a broader domain that precedes inheritance and operates according to specific knowledge of the family’s circumstances.
