What is the ruling on a man giving his wealth and house to the one who raised him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This is a woman who says: I am a married woman and I have children, but I do not know my real father and mother. However, the man who raised me, before his death, wrote a document giving me everything he found in the house, along with the house itself, with the consent of his wife, in the court, so that I would not be troubled after his death. I should mention that he has three daughters from his first wife. What is the ruling on this? And may Allah reward you with good. Yes.

The Shaykh : The ruling in this matter lies with the court, not with us. I am afraid that this issue involves litigation or a lawsuit. If the questioner is serious about clarifying the ruling on this matter, let him and his opponents come to us so we can look into the issue. If he wants to take an answer from us to use against his opponent, we do not want that and we refer him to the court.
