May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is a bequest to someone other than an heir permissible?
The Shaykh:
Permissible, what?
The questioner:
A bequest.
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is permissible for a non-heir. It is valid, but where does it go? It must be for someone who is not an heir, from among the people, such as the poor, the needy, or charitable projects.
