The third question of Fatwa No. ( 21251 )
Q3: I spent more than half a million riyals on the marriages of three of my daughters; this included the value of jewelry, wedding dresses, furniture for their homes, hotel fees, and food. Two of my daughters have not yet married. Therefore, I wrote out a sum of (100,000) one hundred thousand riyals for each of them to be spent on their marriage after my death, before they marry, considering that amount a debt owed to them by me. As for the daughter who marries during my lifetime and for whom I have already spent on her marriage, her right to that amount registered in her name at the company is waived. I have informed their sisters of what I did, and none of them objected. What is the ruling on this?
A3: The financial amount you allocated for your unmarried daughters to benefit from in their marriages after your death, in the same manner as their sisters, will not be executed except with the consent of all the heirs after your death. If they approve it, it is their right; otherwise, it becomes part of the inheritance to be divided among all the heirs. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
