If one bequeaths the destruction of one-third of his wealth, or its expenditure on a grave or a church, is the bequest executed, or is it permissible to alter it?

Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: The author of the commentary, *Kashf al-Mukhaddirat*, states: “If he bequeaths the burning of one-third of his wealth, it is to be spent on beautifying the Ka'bah and lighting the mosques. If he bequeaths being buried in the earth, it is to be spent on shrouding the dead. If he bequeaths throwing [it]… Is this considered, and do the scholars’ handling of these texts, constitute a distortion of the testator’s text?”

Answer:
No, this is a modification toward what is better. Yes. So if they do what is better in it, and they say he bequeathed it to a grave or to a church, then it is spent on the mosques instead of being spent on what is forbidden. Yes.
