Warning Against Transgressing the Limits for Inheritance
Meaning, the Fara'id are Allah's set limits. This includes what Allah has alloted for the heirs, according to the degree of relation they have to the deceased, and their degree of dependency on him. Therefore, do not transgress or violate them. So Allah said;
وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
Commentary
It is the consistent style of the Holy Qur'an that whenever it has described the beliefs and injunctions prescribed by Allah, it is followed by promises of reward or warnings of punishment.
