The ruling on the gift of a dying person and his disposal of his wealth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He gave his wife from the far end of a thousand riyals, approximately. And he did not make a bequest to any of his children. And the husband's children asked her to swear that her husband had not left any money with her. Is it permissible for her to take it as her money?

Answer:
This goes back to the court. Since there is a dispute here, this is a matter of litigation; refer it to the judge. The well-known rule is that if a person is in the state of dying, he has no disposal of his wealth and no gift; he has no gift and no disposal while in the state of dying. Yes, this is the general rule. As for this specific case, I do not know about it; it requires the judge's review. Yes, but when death approaches a person, his disposal of wealth is taken away; it is not permissible for him to dispose of anything. Yes.
