Tribute, Spending
أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ خَرْجًا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ {72}
Or are you asking them for a ‘خَرْجًا’ tribute (Tax)? But, the tribute of your Lord is better, and He is the best of the providers [23:72]
وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا وَصِيَّةً لِأَزْوَاجِهِمْ مَتَاعًا إِلَى الْحَوْلِ غَيْرَ إِخْرَاجٍ ۚ فَإِنْ خَرَجْنَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي مَا فَعَلْنَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِنَّ مِنْ مَعْرُوفٍ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ {240}
And those of you who are dying and leaving wives (as widows), should bequeath to their wives a provision to the year without expulsion. But, if they exit, then there is no blame upon you regarding what they do with regards to themselves from reasonableness; and Allah is Mighty, Wise [2:240]
عن أبي بصير، قال: سألته عن قول الله: وَ الَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَ يَذَرُونَ أَزْواجاً وَصِيَّةً لِأَزْواجِهِمْ مَتاعاً إِلَى الْحَوْلِ غَيْرَ إِخْراجٍ. قال: «هي منسوخة
From Abu Baseer who said,
‘I asked about the Words of Allah-azwj And those of you who are dying and leaving wives (as widows), should bequeath to their wives a provision to the year without expulsion [2:240]. He-asws said: ‘It is Abrogated’.
قلت: و كيف كانت؟ قال: «كان الرجل إذا مات أنفق على امرأته من صلب المال حولا، ثم أخرجت بلا ميراث، ثم نسختها آية الربع و الثمن، فالمرأة ينفق عليها من نصيبها
I said, ‘And how was it happening?’ He-asws said: ‘It was so that the man, when he died, spent upon his wife from the centre of the wealth for the year, then she would be expelled without an inheritance. Then the Verse of the fourth and the eight (inheritance share for the wife) Abrogated it. so, the woman, would be spent upon from her share’’.[1]
