The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy.
The questioner : May Allah make all your times full of good, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Amen, and to the one who said it and the one who heard it.
The questioner : May Allah say amen. I have two questions, briefly, if you allow me, Honorable Shaykh. The first question says: Is it permissible for a father to appoint the younger brother as agent over his properties and over his brothers, even if there is among the brothers someone older than this brother?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible, but his adult children—no one has a will over them.
The questioner : Meaning the will is only over the properties, Honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Over the properties and the palace.
