Giving away all of one's wealth while in good health and the legal interdiction of its owner
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a Muslim to give away all his wealth while he is in good health? And is it permissible for his children in this case to restrict his spending out of fear for themselves?
Answer:
As long as he is in good health, as long as he is in good health and of sound mind, not a spendthrift or a wasteful person, no one has the right to object to him giving away all his wealth, or half of it, or part of it. He is not to be restricted unless there is a defect in his mind or a defect in his conduct that warrants restriction; this is the restriction for imbecility. Yes.
