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
- The will realizes special justice
- The will takes precedence over inheritance
- The share in inheritance and the portion in the will
Place of Support Within the Book
