...this webpage, Inheritance in Islam, (from the DebatingIslam website) indicates in a chart for the second post that Turkey, Indonesia, Bosnia, and Kosovo are the most progressive regarding inheritance (specifically, having the highest percentages believing that daughters and sons should inherit equal amounts from their parents), while the least progressive were Morocco, Iraq, and Jordan (In Morocco, only about 15% of adults believe in equality for sons and daughters with regards to inheritance.
It should be noted that not all Islamic countries had participants in this particular survey. Only 23 did. Countries such as Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc. were not featured in this survey.
