| Details | “The highest authority on the law of inheritance amongst the Sunnis of India is the Sirajiyah, which is some times called the Faraiz-as-Sajawandi, and was composed by Siraj-ad-Din Muhammad. The Sirajiyah has been commented upon by a vast number of writers upwards of forty being enumerated in the Kash-az-Zunum. The most celebrated of these commentaries and the one most generally employed to explain the text, is Sharifiyah by Sayyid Sharif Ali Ben Muhammad-al-Jurjani, who died in A.H. 814 (A.D. 1411)” [cited by P Ramanatha Aiyer’s The Law Lexicon] |
