Inheritance Calculation According to Shaykh Ash-Shinqiti

The science of faraidh from a direction the three earlier Warismatika bundles haven’t taken: tafsir — how Shaykh Muhammad al-Amin ash-Shinqiti (d. 1393 AH) derives inheritance law directly from An-Nisa 11, 12, and 176 in Adhwa’ al-Bayan, using the method of “the Qur’an explained by the Qur’an.” Sixteen files: three verses dissected, a system assembled with a traceable line of evidence, six case studies each carrying an evidence column, a chapter on wisdom, and an honest map of where ijtihad territory begins.

Summary (TL;DR)

All the fixed-share (furudh) numbers turn out to trace back to three verses; the sunnah fills in substitute positions and establishes ‘ashabah; the rest (‘awl, radd, the grandfather-alongside-siblings) is the Companions’ ijtihad — and knowing where these three layers end is the core of ash-Shinqiti’s path. The distinctive feature of his tafsir that this bundle highlights: the wisdom behind 2:1 is answered with the verse on qawwamah (An-Nisa 34), the puzzle of “two daughters = 2/3” is untangled with usul tools (mafhum ash-shart vs mafhum az-zarf) plus a bridge to verse 176, and the two kalalah verses are reconciled as two regimes of siblings (maternal half-siblings vs full/paternal half-siblings). This bundle does not calculate disputed cases — it maps them and points to the sibling bundles; in exchange it gives what no other path has: the root evidence for every rule and answers to modern objections.

Key points:

• Three layers of the system: verse (all furudh numbers) → sunnah (grandmother, grandchildren, ‘ashabah, blocking) → ijtihad (‘awl, radd, the grandfather) — the lineage table is in chapter 05, the quick version in chapter 13.
• This bundle’s signature habit: an evidence column in the worksheet — every line of calculation points to its verse or hadith (chapter 06).
• Six case studies are designed within nash territory (by verse: 11, 12, 176, and mixed) — case F shows just how thin the line is between a safe question and a disputed case.
• The wisdom chapter (chapter 11): three common objections answered the tafsir way — verse against verse.
• Start learning to calculate with the Ibn Uthaymin bundle; this bundle roots what you learn there, it does not replace it (chapter 12).

  R --> T["TIRKAH — the estate to divide"]:::core
  T --> F["Ashabul furudh — fixed shares<br/>1/2 · 1/4 · 1/8 · 2/3 · 1/3 · 1/6"]:::core
  T --> A["'Ashabah — take the residue<br/>(nearest male relatives)"]:::core

  A --> HJ
  HJ --> K["Correct if it doesn't fit<br/>'awl · radd · tashih"]:::how

This flow is shared across the classical paths; ash-Shinqiti’s hallmark: every rule is traced to its source (verse → sunnah → ijtihad), not merely memorised.

Prerequisites & notes

• Prerequisite: best enjoyed once you can already calculate (the Ibn Uthaymin bundle); still readable standalone for anyone chasing the evidence.
• Attribution honesty: only discussion verified as being in Adhwa’ al-Bayan is attributed to ash-Shinqiti; disputed cases are not calculated here, they are mapped to the sibling bundles.
• The Indonesian version is in the sibling bundle: perhitungan-waris-asy-syinqithi-id/.
