Question:
One of the sisters, who used the code name Umm 'Abd al-Majid from Dammam, says that her mother had a share from her father, and she renounced it in favor of her brother. Do the children have the right to object and prevent this? Yes.
Answer:
No, no one has the right to prevent this. A person may dispose of their wealth, unless there is a defect in her mind or a defect in her conduct such that she is under legal interdiction. In that case, they have the right to object. But if she is not under legal interdiction according to the Shari'ah, she may dispose of her wealth. Yes.
