Making up “Shariah” laws out of thin air
Amazing how one particular Islamophobe thinks he can get away with this:
In Syriah[sic] Law, the living stand to inherit nothing from the dead Muslim spouse or kin. It seems to me the eldest son (is a Muslim) fabricated the story in order to be the sole heir of the deadman’s property[....]To think that a family receives nothing from their departed ones, the house, money and car, I’ll call this robbery. The eldest son or Baitulmal have no right to take everything from a family.
[confer Inheritance Law in Islam to see this liar exposed.]
Indeed, he may have got away with it if he was trying to push this idea to someone else. (Un)fortunately in this case, he had to deal with me. While I am not claiming to be a Shariah law expert , I can spot a farce when it is clear that it is….well, a farce.
And this particular diatribe is certainly a prime example of how Islamophobes like to make up “Shariah” laws out of thin air to advance their bigotry.

MENJ is 28/m/BTHO. Pursuing a Masters programme at APIIT, he is currently a full-time ProBlogger and Web Directory Owner. He is also a Muslim Internet activist and student of Comparative Religion, dedicated to combating misinformation about Islam. 
Actually, there is basis for this fear - a Hadith in the Muslim collection (Book 11, Hadith 3928), which states:
“Usama b. Zaid reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: A Muslim is not entitled to inherit from a non-Muslim, and a non-Muslim is not entitled to inherit from a Muslim.”
While we have not consulted the Syariah enactments of Malaysia, a paper from the e-Syariah website - specifically, on page 3, article 7 (’Syarat-syarat Pusaka’) - states that a difference of religion is one criteria nullifying inheritance.
[MENJ: Yes this hadith is a sahih hadith but this applies to BORN MUSLIMS, and not REVERTS.]
Pulling things out of thin air? Guess again.
[MENJ: Morons who have no knowledge of hadith exegesis should not be commenting on things that they do not know about.]

cheers.
[MENJ: Why should I even bother addressing nonsense which, by your own admission states as thus: "This is purely a SATIRE. NOTHING in this post is factually true."
Something which is based on falsehood is not worth responding to.]

How, by any stretch of the imagination, if the said hadith was indeed uttered by Prophet Muhammad, could it have referred to BORN MUSLIMS? In the Prophet’s time?
Or is the first generation of MUSLIMS living in the time of the Prophet now conveniently thought of as BORN MUSLIMS?
[MENJ: Who are you to question this interpretation? Are you a jurist, a muhaddith or a scholar? If you are none of these, please kindly SHUT UP.]
Simply labelling other people as morons, by the way, does little to make you any more credible, regardless of whether or not this is YOUR site.
[MENJ: The above statement still applies.]
