The questioner:

The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
What are the conditions of a bequest?
The Shaykh:
The conditions of a bequest were previously mentioned to you at the beginning of this chapter. One condition is that he must have wealth, even if it is little, if he leaves behind good. As for the one who has no wealth, who would he make a bequest to? Likewise, the wealth must be substantial if he leaves behind good. Substantial wealth means that if the wealth is little, he should not make a bequest, as it would burden the heirs, and they are in greater need of it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
The third condition is that it must be within the limit of one-third or less. The fourth condition is that it must be for a non-heir. These are the conditions of a bequest. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
