A mother giving all of her wealth to one of her children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, my mother gave me all the wealth she owns, excluding my brothers and sisters,
The Shaykh:
My mother?
The questioner:
My mother gave me all of her wealth that she owns, excluding my sisters and brothers, as a reward for my dutifulness toward her. Does that mean I should take all the money?
The Shaykh:
No, do not accept this; this is not permissible. Tell her: this is not permissible. I want the reward for being dutiful, not the desire for worldly things. This is not permissible in the Shari'ah unless you distribute it among all your children and treat them equally; there is no objection to that. But for you to single me out with something, this is not permissible. Yes.
