While many societies around the world denied women inheritance, Islam assured women this right, illustrating the universal justice of Islams divine law. Islam gave women the right to own property and inherit from relatives, which was a revolutionary concept in the seventh century. Whether a woman is a wife, mother, sister, or daughter, she receives a certain share of her deceased relatives property.

She has no obligation to share her money with her husband or any other family members, although she may choose to do so out of good will.

If a woman is married, her husband must fully support her financially and if shes not married, that responsibility belongs to her closest male relative.
