Question:
This sister, Umm Muram, says: Shaykh, what is the ruling on being lenient with bequests regarding fathers and mothers, given that I have a brother who is lenient with the bequest that my mother wrote?
Answer:
It is not permissible to be lenient with bequests if he is the agent who executes them; in that case, it is obligatory for him to do so. If he is abandoning the agency, he should go to the judge and have the agency revoked by him, so that the judge appoints someone else in his place to execute the bequest. Yes.
