Accepting the bequest of a person in the illness of death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We know that Allah accepts the repentance of a servant as long as the sun has not set, or until the sun rises from the west. Is it not, Honorable Shaykh, even more so that the bequest of a sick person is accepted during his illness, or when the armies meet?
Answer:
There is no problem with the bequest; it is valid in the case of a feared terminal illness or when the armies meet. The bequest is not the issue here. The issue is with gifts, donations, or acknowledging rights to people. As for the bequest, it is valid even if it is made during a feared terminal illness or in the state of death throes. Yes.
