Bismillah
Thank u reepi
I find it obligatory since Alhamdulelah I know the language
Ok the Ayahs is determining the rulings of inheritance here.
i will explain it right from the original source. Have nothing to do with Yusuf Ali or Picktal. Mind u the translation here is translation of the meanings and does not in any way stand as Quran.
The Ayah says that Allah Commands u regarding your children that:
a male shall receive the share equal to the share of two females. In other word a female receives 1/2 of the male's share.
In case children were all females <b>but more than 2 daughters
</b>, here both daughters take 1/3 of the inheritance.
If it was only one daughter she takes 1/2 and the parents each 1/6th.
You re talking about contradiction between two translations of the meaning. Just grab any Quran in Arabic u will find the same text written with the same meaning reepi. The same for any other surahs or ayahs. All Arabic Quran books in the world are the same no contradiction. Alhamdulelah
