Question:
A questioner says: If a man bequeaths that this money be for so-and-so, a wali (close friend of Allah), and for his grave, is this bequest carried out?
Answer:
This requires the judge in the town; he goes to him with this bequest, and the judge clarifies it. However, as a general rule, this bequest is to be spent on what is prescribed, not on what the bequeather specified of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief). It is to be spent on lawful matters. Yes.
