Islamic law considers concealing inheritance a serious offense. Here’s how it addresses the issue: Who Needs to Prove What?: The burden of proof falls on the accused heir. They must justify their actions with evidence, while the wronged heirs can present their case to challenge the deception. Restoring What’s Rightful: Islamic law mandates returning rightful shares to wronged heirs. This means recalculating the inheritance based on accurate information and ensuring everyone receives their fair portion. Mediation First: Islamic law encourages resolving disputes peacefully. A trusted family member or Islamic scholar can mediate to ensure justice and maintain family harmony. The Qadi’s Role: If mediation fails, the case goes to a Qadi (Islamic judge) who will examine evidence, hear testimonies, and issue a ruling based on Islamic principles to rectify the fraud and distribute the estate justly. Pakistan’s Legal System: Upholding Islamic Principles
