The Meaning of the Hadith "There Is No Bequest for an Heir"

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. What is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "There is no bequest for an heir"?

Answer:
The meaning of that is to prohibit making a bequest of wealth to any of the heirs. This is because Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has divided the inheritance and given every person who has a right their due. Therefore, it is not permissible for a person to bequeath wealth to any of his heirs, because this means being dissatisfied with what Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has divided. Also, there is injustice in this, and there is injustice and encroachment upon the rights of the other heirs besides the one being bequeathed to. This harms the heirs. Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited bequeathing to an heir. There is discussion regarding the hadith, but the consensus of the scholars is to prohibit bequeathing to an heir. Yes, except if the heirs permit it. Yes.
