Was the command in this āyah abrogated?
Jawaban
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:
Ibn ʿUmar said, "This verse was abrogated by the verse on inheritance." Ibn ʿAbbās said, "It was abrogated by 'For men there is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave...' [Al-Nisāʾ: 7]."
The scholars agree that the bequest for parents and close relatives who are heirs was abrogated. However, they differ regarding the close relatives who do not have an appointed share in inheritance, is the bequest obligatory for them? There are two opinions, with the more correct one being that it is not obligatory for anyone.
