Question:
We have a call from Abu Muhammad from al-Kharj. Yes, Abu Muhammad. Yes. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. The question? The question is that I have a bequest from my grandmother. Yes. And she bequeathed to me that I should offer a sacrifice for her children, her father’s children. And I have saved the money. I offered a sacrifice for her with my share, and I gave charity for her, and I made it a partnership with my children and my parents. Yes. Is it okay? And I have an amount; if I divide it and put it toward the sacrifice, the sacrifice has become more expensive these days, I do not know, O Shaykh. Should I put it in the mosque, or what should I do with the amount I have? Okay, thank you, my dear brother. You are welcome.
Answer:
My brother, my brother, the bequest is carried out according to what the bequeather said. You offer the sacrifice for her and do not share it with others in the sacrifice. Gather the money, and even if you do not offer a sacrifice every year, gather it until the price of the sacrifice is reached, even if it takes two or three years, then offer it for her alone and do not share it with anyone else. Follow what she said and do not act on your own. Do not put it in the mosque. Do not put it in Qur'an memorization. Follow what the bequeather said. Yes.
