Mandatory nature of inheritance system overrides any will : mathematics of the Islamic inheritance

Fatawa Question

Dear Dr. Kahf Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah. In my country, Bangladesh, some people are making up a controversy regarding the Islamic inheritance law. They say that the Inheritance Law, as described in Surah Nisaa, is mathematically flawed (if you divide as prescribed, it does not add up to one). They also say that it was Hazrat Ali (Radiallahu Anhu) who made corrections to the inheritance law and thus, they try to say, has made corrections to The Quran (Astaghfirullah). Can you please shed some light into this ? I want to answer these guys but I am not knowledgeable enough. Please help me by giving a detailed answer or please give me some materials where I can find the answer myself. JazaakAllaah for your splendid works ! Ma ’assalam Yusuf
