The questioner:
Also, Honorable Shaykh, the intention behind giving the first gift is the initial gift, but the author (may Allah have mercy on him) says if the one-third is insufficient for all of them, because he has earned the one-third,
The Shaykh:
It appears that there is an error in the edition. This is if the wealth is restricted to the one-third. The wealth is not the one-third, because the one-third is only for the bequest that... As for gifts, they do not enter into the one-third; they are from the original wealth. Gifts during health are from the original wealth.
Another questioner:
We will begin to speak about the process of change.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
Another questioner:
Health is a gift of goodness.
The Shaykh:
A sick person has no gift. A person with the feared illness of death has no gift. Yes.
Another questioner:
The great one, our Shaykh. Huh? The great one. Yes. Or what? Or
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is permissible, even if it consumes the wealth, because as long as a person is alive and in good health, he disposes of all his wealth, or he disposes of all of it and some of it, as long as it does not contradict his ownership. Yes, but he should not give away all his wealth and remain poor. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
Another questioner:
Huh? The sick person.
The Shaykh:
The sick person is restricted; he does not give anything. He has only the bequest. It appears that until you understood this, the person with the feared illness of death is restricted; he has no charitable giving, no gifts, and nothing else, because the wealth is on the verge of transferring to others, so he is restricted. Yes.
Another questioner:
He is not the one giving.
The Shaykh:
He has a gift, not for the one-third, but he has only the bequest, and only the bequest after his death. Yes.
