Rationale of the female male shares in inheritance : explanation of inheritance system

Fatawa Question

Assalamo Alikom I hope that you are well and in good health.I have discussed my will with my daughter, and as I know in Shari’ah if you have a boy in family, he gets 2 / 3 and girl 1 / 3.(I have a son and daughter.) from the assets from his father and his mother. She made it clear that she will carry my wish, but she seems not happy and fully understanding why son gets more when God said they are equal. I told her as much as I know, which is with extra the boy has more responsibilities towards his family, and no one can share her inheritance with her. She believes she is educated but more than her brother, and she will never need his assistant. So no responsibilities exist on her. And if something happened to him or to the father or to the mother, she will be responsible too. Would you kindly explain it more. Thank you so much for your help, and may God bless you and yours. Wsalam Alikom,

Fatwa
